We synthesized an efficient bio-based nano-catalyst, -Fe 3 O 4 @nano linear dextrin/Sb + 5 (Fe 3 O 4 @NLD/Sb + 5 ) -from nano linear dextrin and antimony pentachloride via straightforward steps. The nano-catalyst was used to synthesize solvent-free 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a, j]xanthene derivatives based on 2-aminobenzimide and different aldehydes. The synthesized nano-catalyst bears many critical advantages: nontoxicity, biocompatibility, affordability, easy work-up method, environmentally friendliness, and high yields, as well as being solventfree and operable under green conditions.
