Hydromagnesite as an Efficient Recyclable Heterogeneous Solid Base Catalyst for the Synthesis of Flavanones, Flavonols and 1,4‐Dihydropyridines in Water

Abstract

Abstract A form of hydromagnesite (HM) with flower‐like thin‐sheet morphology was synthesized by an environmentally benign approach using simple conventional heating at moderate temperature without using any template in water as medium. The versatility of this HM catalyst was studied in the synthesis of flavanones, flavonols and the multicomponent synthesis of 1,4‐dihydropyridines in water. The recyclability of catalyst was studied for six times and there was no appreciable loss in its catalytic activity. magnified image
