One pot synthesis of 4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones using ofNiFe2O4@amino glucosyl-SiO2 as a recyclable catalyst

The synthesis of arylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones has attracted attention in the past because of their potential as anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-malarial, diuretic, anti-biotic, anti-hypertensive, anti-tubercular and anti-fungal anti-hypertensive and anti-viral activities One of the most widely used methods for the synthesis of diaryl-substituted pyrimidine-2(1H)-ol/-thiol derivatives involves starting from chalcone by cyclization with urea and thiourea. Chalcones are natural compounds and important precursors for the synthesis of many biologically active compounds.1-3 Hence, combined with the use of combinatorial chemistry and high throughput parallel synthesis, such reactions have constituted an increasingly valuable approach to drug discovery efforts in recent years. On the other hand, nanostructures as efficient catalysts have been used in various organic catalytic reactions. Among the numerous metal oxides, Fe3O4 and NiFe2O4 have attracted most interest due to its special properties. Although iron oxide particles surface exhibits both Lewis acid and base properties, the nature of metal cation and surface area of the metal oxides have extensively amplified their catalytic properties. The reactivity of Fe3O4 and NiFe2O4 has been shown to increase greatly as their dimensions are reduced and they may undergo rapid biodegradation when exposed directly to biological systems. Suitable coating is essential to prevent such limitation. 4,5 In continuation of our research for the green synthesis of organic compounds, 4-7 we describe here synthesis and the use of acidic amino glucose‐functionalized silica‐coated NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (NiFe2O4@amino glucosyl-SiO2) as a green, reusable and effective nano catalyst for the synthesis of arylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (Scheme 1). The structures of the synthesized arylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones were confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR and FT-IR spectral data and elemental analyses.
