Preparation and characterization of graphitic carbon nitride-supported l-arginine as a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of condensation reactions

In this work, graphitic carbon nitride-supported l-arginine (g-C3N4@l-arginine) nanocatalyst was synthesized and evaluated using FT-IR, EDX, XRD, TGA, and FESEM analyses. The performance of the prepared nanocatalyst was examined in the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine, 4H-chromene, and 2,3-dihydro quinazoline derivatives. The novel g-C3N4@l-arginine nanocatalyst showed high thermal stability, easy separation from reaction media, the capability to be used in various multicomponent reactions, and acceptable reusability.
