One‐pot synthesis of spiro‐acridine/indoline and indoline derivatives using ( MWCNTs )‐ COOH / La2O3 hybrid as an effective catalyst

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Spiro‐acridine/indoline and indoline derivatives were synthesized by the three‐component reaction of isatin, dimedone, and amines or amino acids in the presence of acid‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes/La2O3 (MWCNTs)‐COOH/La2O3 hybrid (5 mol%) as a highly efficient catalyst in ethanol. The assigned structure was further established by CHN analysis, NMR, and FTIR spectra. (MWCNTs)‐COOH/La2O3 was fabricated by the reaction of functionalized (MWCNTs)‐COOH and La(NO3)3.6H2O in acetic acid. Synthesis of La2O3 nanoparticles and their conjugation on the surface of MWCNT have been confirmed by FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy.
