“…To date, several synthetic approaches for the synthesis of polyhydroquinolines have been reported but due to considerable shortcomings manifested by these protocols, such as prolonged reaction times, acidic or basic conditions, tedious experimental procedures, use of expensive metal salts, etc., [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] we focused our research towards the development of an alternative milder strategy via designing a magnetically incorporated h-BN nanosheet based catalytic system that surpasses the aforesaid issues remarkably. Impressed by the immense benefits governed by surface engineered h-BN nanocomposites and our on-going laboratory work, [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] we herein demonstrate the fabrication of a novel h-BN@Fe 3 O 4 @APTES@TPC@Ni catalyst and its utility in the multicomponent coupling of aldehydes, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate to access the respective 1,4-dihydropyridines of biological importance. Such recyclable heterogeneous supported nanocatalysts have been grabbing the attention of the scientific community for years to deliver diverse heterocyclic organic products at the industrial scale.…”
