“…Catalysts used for one-pot, three-component reactions include piperidine [21], hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTMAB) [22], sodium bromide [23], ionic liquids [24][25][26][27][28][29], tetramethylammonium hydroxide [30], diammonium hydrogen phosphate [31], organocatalysts [32], sodium selenite [33], tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) [34,35], polyaniline-silica gel [36], alum [KAl(SO 4 ) 2 Á12H 2 O] [37], rare earth perfluorooctanoates, e.g. Re(PFO) 3 [38], Caro's acid [39], amines or amino acids [40], potassium phosphate [41], PPA-SiO 2 [42], microwave irradiation [43], BF 3 ÁOEt 2 [44], magnetic core-shell titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @TiO 2 ) [45], NH 4 H 2 PO 4 -Al 2 O 3 [46], DABCO-EtOH [47], TPPA [48], t-BuOK-t-BuOH [49], L-proline under ultrasound irradiation [50], and silica coated magnetitepolyoxometalate nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @NH-NH 2 -H 3 PW 12 O 40 ) [51]. Many of these methods suffer from one or more limitations, for example low yields, use of expensive reagents, long reaction times, tedious work-up procedures, and cooccurrence of several side reactions.…”
