Silver Coordination-Polymer based of 4,6-Diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol as Organic Ligand: a Highly Reusable Heterogeneous Nanocatalyst for the Asymmetric Hantzsch Synthesis of Polyhydroquinolines under Green Conditions

Abstract

A highly efficient and stable heterogeneous coordination polymer (CP) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal combination of silver and 4,6-diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol. The prepared coordination polymer was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, EDX, X-ray mapping and Nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis. The prepared Ag-CP exhibit excellent catalytic activity in multicomponent Hantzsch synthesis of polyhydroquinolines under mild reaction conditions in relatively short reaction times. The heterogeneity of the catalyst was confirmed by the hot filtration test; also, the catalyst was reused for at least four times under the optimized reaction conditions without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.
