Green Utilizing AlFeO3 Nanoparticles-Catalyzed for Sustainable Biginelli Synthesis of 3, 4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-thiones in Glycerol
摘要
The Biginelli reaction products have significant medicinal and biological applications, prompting the need for green chemistry-compatible catalytic systems for their synthesis. This project introduces aluminum ferrite nanoparticles (AlFeO3 NPs) as an efficient and eco-friendly catalyst for creating Biginelli derivatives through three-component reactions involving aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes, ethyl or methyl acetoacetate, and thiourea in glycerol. The AlFeO3 NPs catalyst was synthesized from readily available materials and characterized using various techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, VSM, TGA, BET, SEM, TEM, and EDX, confirming its structure and magnetic properties. Notably, this method allows for the rapid synthesis of 19 derivatives of 3, 4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-thione with high yields, utilizing environmentally friendly solvents and adhering to green chemistry principles.
