BF3-grafted Fe3O4@Sucrose nanoparticles as a highly-efficient acid catalyst for syntheses of Dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) and Bis 3-Indolyl Methanes (BIMs)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/aoc.4431

Current paper represents immobilization of sucrose on the Fe₃O₄ core and grafting of boron trifluoride (BF₃) onto the new surface. The catalytic activity of these nanoparticles was tested in syntheses of Dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) and Bis (3-Indolyl) Methanes (BIMs) as two fruitful pharmaceutical structures. Acidic capacity, FT-IR, XRD, VSM, TGA and SEM–EDX tests are carried out on such novel nanoparticles (NPs). Catalyst has shown more acidic capacity per one gram of NPs than sulfonated homologue which was reported previously.
