One-pot and green synthesis 1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-dione and dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromene derivatives by Fe3O4@SiO2-imine/phenoxy-Cu(II) as an efficient and reusable catalyst

In the current study, magnetite-silica core-shell nanoparticles modified with Cu-salen complex (Fe3O4@SiO2-imine/phenoxy-Cu(II)) was utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-dione and dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromene derivatives under solvent-free conditions, without using any harmful organic reagents/solvent. The current synthetic protocol demonstrates that the reactions proceeds to completing step, leading to the successful synthesis of high purity compounds. Advantages of this method include easy purification, reusability of the catalyst, green and mild procedure and synthesis of new derivatives in high yields within short reaction time.
