MgFe2O4@Tris magnetic nanoparticles: an effective and powerful catalyst for one-pot synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidine and tetrahydrodipyrazolopyridine derivatives

Abstract

Magnesium (Mg) as a metal has wide applications, but its use in chemical reactions is rarely reported. Currently, magnesium catalytic processes are being developed to synthesize basic chemical compounds. Therefore, an effective and recyclable nano-catalyst was synthesized using MgFe₂O₄@Tris in this study. The structure of MgFe₂O₄@Tris was characterized by various techniques including Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. Finally, the catalytic activity of this nano-catalyst was evaluated for the synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidine and tetrahydrodipyrazolopyridine derivatives. Among the advantages of this catalyst are its high catalytic activity, high yields, use of environmentally friendly solvents, easy magnetic separation, and the possibility of reusing the catalyst.
