Polypyrrole (PPY)/Fe 3 O 4 /CNT has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, TEM and SEM techniques and its catalytic activity has been evaluated in the synthesis of several series of pyran derivatives. Tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyranes, 4Hpyran-3-carboxylates, 4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes and dihydropyrano[2,3-c] pyrazoles have been successfully prepared from one-pot three-component condensation of aldehyde, malononitrile and active methylene-containing compounds (dimedone /ethyl acetoacetate/4-hydroxycoumarin/3-methyl-2pyrazoline-5-one) using PPY/Fe 3 O 4 /CNT as a new and reusable heterogeneouscatalyst. The present method offer several advantages such as; high yields of products, short reaction times, easy work-up procedure and easy separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture due to its magnetic character. Furthermore, chemoselective synthesis of bis-benzo[b]pyran from terephthalaldehyde can be achieved by this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
