Abstract
Various pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines were synthesized by the multicomponent reaction of aldehydes, malononitrile, and acidic C-H compounds such as barbituric acid through the tandem Knoevenagel-Michael cyclocondensation pathway in an environmentally friendly reactive medium in the presence of a recoverable nanocomposite. This nanocomposite includes Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles placed on an organometallic framework. The synthesized Fe(3)O(4)@iron-based metal-organic framework nanocomposite was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, a vibrating sample magnetometer, and thermogravimetric analysis.
