Background:
Pyran is an heterocyclic oxygen-containing compound that displays a wide range of therapeutic activities. Additionally, pyran is also one of the important structural subunits widely found in pharmaceuticals products. This makes it a recent focus for researchers from the industry and academic institutions. Herein, we reported an efficient and environmentally friendly one-pot strategy for the synthesis of bioactive 4H-pyran compounds via a multicomponent reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and substituted aromatic aldehydes in the presence of the heterogeneous spinel catalyst ( MgAl2O4 ) under mild conditions (room temperature and green solvents). The MgAl2O4 nanocatalyst was prepared from Mg/Al-LDH with a molar ratio 3 of Mg2+/Al3+ by heat treatment at 800°C. The samples were studied by a various characterization techniques such as XRD, TG-dTG, FT-IR and N2 adsorption-desorption. Good to excellent yields and facile separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture are two of the most appealing features of this approach. Thus, bioactive molecules with pyran units may have fascinating biological properties.
