A novel inorganic-organic nanohybrid material H4SiW12O40/pyridino-MCM-41 as efficient catalyst for the preparation of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols under solvent-free conditions.
A new inorganic-organic nanohybrid material H4SiW12O40/pyridino-MCM-41 was prepared and performed as an efficient, eco-friendly, and highly recyclable catalyst for the one-pot multi-component synthesis of different substituted 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols under solvent-free conditions. The nanohybrid catalyst was prepared through electrostatic anchoring of Keggin heteropolyacid H4SiW12O40 on the surface of MCM-41 nanoparticles modified by N-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]isonicotinamide. The prepared material was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, UV-Vis, DTA-TGA, DLS, and FT-IR spectroscopy. Findings confirmed that the heteropolyacid is well dispersed on the surface of the solid support and its structure is preserved after immobilization on the TPI modified MCM-41 nanoparticles. The recovered catalyst was easily recycled for at least seven runs without considerable loss of catalytic activity.
