BF₃‐grafted Fe₃O₄@Sucrose nanoparticles as a highly‐efficient acid catalyst for syntheses of Dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) and Bis 3‐Indolyl Methanes (BIMs)

Abstract

Current paper represents immobilization of sucrose on the Fe 3 O 4 core and grafting of boron trifluoride (BF 3 ) onto the new surface. The catalytic activity of these nanoparticles was tested in syntheses of Dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) and Bis (3‐Indolyl) Methanes (BIMs) as two fruitful pharmaceutical structures. Acidic capacity, FT‐IR, XRD, VSM, TGA and SEM–EDX tests are carried out on such novel nanoparticles (NPs). Catalyst has shown more acidic capacity per one gram of NPs than sulfonated homologue which was reported previously.
