Synthesis of novel magnetic nanoparticles with urea or urethane moieties: Applications as catalysts in the Strecker synthesis of α-aminonitriles

Four novel magnetic nanoparticle catalysts with urea or urethane moieties are reported. The silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles were simply functionalized via addition of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylisocyanate (TESPIC), amine or amino alcohol. TESPIC with dual labile functional groups was used as a suitable precursor for the synthesis of urethane-based catalysts. The newly synthesized catalysts were fully characterized using a variety of techniques. These functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were used as reusable catalysts in the Strecker synthesis of α-aminonitrile derivatives under solvent-free conditions at 50?°C.

Magnetic Fe3O4-BF3: Highly efficient Lewis acid catalyst for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles

Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle-supported BF3 was prepared as a new magnetically separable Lewis acid catalyst and successfully used for the one-pot synthesis of α-aminonitriles. A broad range of substrates including the aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, cyclic ketones (cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone), aryl-alkyl ketones, diaryl ketones and tetralones, isatin derivatives and acenaphthenequinone were condensed with amines (aliphatic and aromatic) and trimethylsilyl cyanide. All reactions were completed in short times and products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The catalyst could be recycled and reused several times without any loss of efficiency. Finally, α-aminonitrile containing adenine was successfully synthesized.

Silica boron sulfuric acid nanoparticles: As an efficient and reusable catalyst for the large-scale synthesis of α-amino nitriles using the strecker reaction

A highly efficient and green procedure for the large-scale synthesis of α-amino nitriles using three-component condensation of carbonyl compounds, amines, and trimethylsilylcyanide has been developed. Silica boron sulfuric acid nanoparticles (SBSANs) are found as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the promotion of this process at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. This protocol offers an effective and scale-up procedure for the synthesis of various α-amino nitriles using a wide range of amines and carbonyl compounds in relatively short reaction time with the excellent isolated yields. In addition, the SBSAN catalyst is easily separated from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and can be reused several times.
