A novel porphyrin-initiated amine-functionalized poly-3,3-bis(chloromethyl) oxetane (PBCMO-amine) dendritic polymer was effectively synthesized. Characterization using the UV-vis, IR, NMR, PXRD, TG, and FE-SEM spectroscopy and microscopy enabled one to assess the structural and morphological stability of the PBCMO-amine. Its catalytic activity was studied in one-pot fourcomponent solvent-free synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidinone and pyranopyrazole using aldehyde, ethylacetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, and barbituric acid/malononitrile by simple ultrasonic irradiation. Because of the water-soluble nature of PBCMO-amine, the catalyst could be separated and reused without the loss of its activity.
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.
