In recent years, interesting phys. and chem. properties of graphene oxide (GO) have led to a great deal of excitement in the chem. One of the most promising results is the use of GO and the functionalized GOs as heterogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis. In this work, GO was functionalized with piperazine (GO-NH), converted to magnetic GO-NH by incorporating Fe3O4 particles into GO-NH (Fe3O4@rGO-NH), and then reduced with hydrazine hydrate to yield piperazine-grafted magnetic reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4@rGO-NH). The obtained Fe3O4@rGO-NH was used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the Gewald three-component reaction between some aldehydes or ketones, sulfur, and malononitrile or Et cyanoacetate. The catalyst showed good activity for various starting materials, easy separation from the reaction mixture using an ordinary magnet and reusability. Also, the catalyst was used six times without significant loss of activity. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Amino-5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile (cas: 70291-62-2Application of 70291-62-2).
2-Amino-5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile (cas: 70291-62-2) belongs to nitriles. Nitrile function is a very important functional group because it can be manipulated to other functional groups such as carboxylic acid by hydrolysis or amine by reduction, respectively. Nitrile groups in organic compounds can undergo a variety of reactions depending on the reactants or conditions. A nitrile group can be hydrolyzed, reduced, or ejected from a molecule as a cyanide ion.Application of 70291-62-2
