Silica bonded n-propyl1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine as a basic catalyst for synthesis of rylmethylenemalononitrile and pyran annulated heterocyclic compounds

In the present research, silica bonded n-propyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (SPTT) was synthesized by direct incorporation of chloropropyl groups through co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) and, subsequently, grafting the melamine onto the propyl groups via simple nucleophilic substitution reaction. The catalyst has been characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The catalytic activity of catalyst was probed through synthesis of arylmethylenemalononitrile and pyran annulated heterocyclic compounds.
