To test the lifetime and the reusability of the heteroge-

neous catalyst, a series of experiments were carried out for
the model reaction under the optimized conditions. After
completion of the first reaction with 97 % yield, the cata-
lyst was recovered by filtration, washed with ethanol, and
dried at 80 °C for 60 min. The recovered catalyst was
employed for further reactions and proved to have out-
standing reusability over six successive runs (Table 4).
Furthermore, no detectable metal traces in solution were
determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy of the final
reaction mixture (\2 ppm Fe), showing the tight coordi-
nation of iron to the catalyst matrix.

To compare our findings with some previously reported
results from the literature, Table 5 gives a comparison of
the relevant parameters. From this table, one can conclude
that our procedure compares favorably with existing
methods in terms of yields and reaction times.

Conclusions
A Fe(III)-Schiff base complex was readily synthesized and
anchored onto mesoporous silica SBA-15 to afford a Fe(III)-
Schiff base/SBA-15 heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst
gives good activity in water for the synthesis of pyrazine-
based heterocycles in excellent yields. Furthermore, this
solid catalyst shows good recoverability and relatively high
stability against leaching of active species and can be reused
without significant loss of catalytic activity.
