Silica/APTPOSS anchored on MnFe2O4 as an efficient nanomagnetic composite for the preparation of spiro-pyrano [2, 3-c] chromene derivatives

Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of Octakis [3- (3-amino propyl triethoxysilane) propyl] octa-silsesquioxane (APTPOSS), a derivative of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, was utilized to produce an efficient nanocomposite. MNPs@Silica/APTPOSS was characterized through scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, X-ray diffraction, and Thermogravimetric analysis. These magnetic nanoparticles, a combination of organic-inorganic hybrid polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, were utilized as a proficient heterogeneous catalyst in the one-pot synthesis of spirooxindoles derivatives. Furthermore, they could be swiftly isolated and reused six times while maintaining their catalytic efficiency.
