RESUMO
In this research, MNPs@Cu as an effective and recyclable nanocatalyst was prepared and characterized using different methods including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). After the characterization of this new nanocatalyst, it was efficiently used for the promotion of the one-pot synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives via one-pot three-component reaction of the enolizable compound, malononitrile, and arylaldehydes under solvent-free conditions at 90 °C. The procedure gave the desired products in high-to-excellent yields in short reaction times. Also this catalyst, because of its magnetic nature, can be simply restored by a permanent magnetic field and comfortably reused several times without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.
