1-Methylimidazolium ionic liquid supported on Ni@zeolite-Y: fabrication and performance as a novel multi-functional nanocatalyst for one-pot synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and 2-aryl benzimidazoles

摘要

In the present study, 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropy1)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride-supported Ni@zeolite-Y-based nanoporous materials (Ni@zeolite-Im-IL) were synthesized and their structures were confirmed using different characterization techniques such as FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, BET and TGA-DTG analyses. In order to synthesize this multi-functional nano-system, zeolite-NaY was modified first, with exchanged Ni2+ ions and 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane (CPTES) as a coupling reagent and then functionalized to imidazolium chloride ionic liquid by N-methylimidazole. New multi-functional nano-material of Ni@zeolite-Im-IL demonstrated high activity in the catalytic synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles 3a-l by one-pot reaction of methylcarbonyls, thiourea and iodine at 80 degrees C in DMSO with good to excellent yields (85-98%). Also, the catalytic synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles, 6a-m was performed by the condensational reaction of o-arylendiamine and aromatic aldehydes in EtOH at room temperature with excellent yields (90-98%). Advantages of this efficient synthetic strategy include higher purity and shorter reaction time, excellent yield, easy isolation of products, the good stability, activity and feasible reusability of the metallic ionic liquid nanocatalyst. These benefits have made this method more compatible with the principles of green chemistry. [GRAPHICS] .
