In this study, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -SO 3 H was prepared as an efficient and reusable solid acid catalyst and its catalytic activity was considered in the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-2,5-dione derivatives by the threecomponent reaction of 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one, Meldrum's acid and arylaldehydes under thermal solventfree conditions at 70°C. This catalytic system can be reused minimally for five times without any noticeable loss of activity. In addition, the characteristic analysis of Fe 3-O 4 @SiO 2 -SO 3 H, such as thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, scanning electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction was performed.
