An immobilized Co (II) Schiff base complex supported on multi-wall
pan class="TH_term6">carbon nanotubespan> was synthesized and characterized using Fourier transform
pan class="TH_term6">infrared spectroscopypan>, X-ray diffraction, scanning
pan class="TH_term6">electron microscopypan>,
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and
pan class="TH_term6">inductively coupled plasmapan>
pan class="TH_term6">mass spectrometrypan>. It was shown that the supported complex is a facile, eco-friendly, recyclable, reusable and green catalyst for three-component condensation of
pan class="TH_term3">2-naphtholpan> and acetamide with various aldehydes for the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthol derivatives under solvent-free conditions. Also, in a further study, the catalytic application was studied in the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[
b]pyran derivatives via the
pan class="TH_term4">condensation reactionpan> of
pan class="TH_term1 TH_term3">malononitrilepan> and
pan class="TH_term3">dimedonepan> with several aromatic aldehydes. The procedures suggested here for the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthol and tetrahydrobenzo[
b]pyran derivatives offer several advantages, such as stability, recyclability and eco-friendliness of the catalyst, simple experimental conditions, short reaction times, high to excellent yields and easy work-up.
