Results: A series of 2-amino-6-aryl-5,6-dihydro-4(3H)-pyrimidinones were synthesized in high yields (90-98%) via a simple one-pot three-component coupling reaction using the synthesized TiO 2-CNTs nanocomposite with the weight ratio of 50:50 as an efficient and recyclable catalyst. All synthesized compounds were well characterized by their satisfactory elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized catalyst was fully characterized by XRD, SEM, and elemental analysis.

The recent development of using heterogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis has increased the need for fine metal oxide nanoparticles [1-4]. Nanosized titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) can be used in several organic and inorganic transformations because of their superior properties such as high catalytic activity, non-toxicity, easy availability, moisture stability and reusability [5-14]. In order to improve the morphology, structural, chemical, electrical, and optical properties of nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used as a support [15, 16]. Recently, the use of TiO2 NPs loaded on the carbon nanotubes (TiO2-CNTs) as a heterogeneous catalyst has attracted the attention owing to its

exceptional physical properties, such as large specific surface area, and excellent physiochemical characteristic [17, 18]. Pyrimidinones are privileged heterocycles in the field of drugs and pharmaceutical industry [19]. Some significant biological activities, such as antiviral, antibacterial, antihypertensive, antitumor and calcium blockers effects have been observed for these compounds [20]. Pyrimidinone derivatives have also emerged as core units in some natural marine products, such as batzelladine and carambine alkaloids, which have been used potentially as HIV-gp-120CD4 inhibitors [21]. The synthesis of 2-aminopyrimidinones attracts widespread interest due to their biological potential [22-24]. In this paper, we envisioned that the direct assembly of Meldrum’s acid 1, aromatic aldehydes 2, and guanidine nitrate 3 in the presence of a catalytic amount of TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite could be utilized to afford 2-amino-6-aryl-

For this purpose, first we prepared the TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite via a sonochemical method adopting the approach of Salavati, et al. [30]. The XRD pattern of the synthesized TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite shown in Fig. (1) indicates that only anatase particles form of TiO2 can be observed in the composite. The morphology of the TiO2-CNTs composite which is a continuous and mesoporous anatase TiO2 layer over the CNTs, was also revealed by SEM image (Fig. 2). The chemical composition of the catalyst was determined by the elemental

To determine the effectiveness of the TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite as catalyst, the model reaction was carried out in the absence of catalyst. After 6 h, only 41% of product was obtained (Table 1, entry 1). Further, we have investigated the same reaction using different amounts of the TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite catalyst (10, 15, and 20 mol%). It was found that 15 mol% of catalyst was enough to push the reaction forward (Table 1, entries 2-4).

In our ongoing efforts in developing nanostructured catalysts for the efficient synthetic methods for the construction of potential bioactive heterocyclic compounds [25-29], we have found that the TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite is suitable for the preparation of 2-amino-6-aryl-5,6-dihydro-4(3H)pyrimidinone derivatives 4 by the three-component coupling reaction of Meldrum’s acid, aromatic aldehydes, and guanidine nitrate at 80oC under solvent-free conditions.

that the best results were obtained under solvent-free conditions (Table 1, entries 3 and 6-9). To explore the scope and limitation of this new procedure, we have extensively utilized various substituted aromatic aldehydes for the reaction with Meldrum’s acid and guanidine nitrate to obtain desired products under the optimized conditions (Table 2). The isolated compounds (4a-k) were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic data and also by elemental analyses. A suggested mechanism for this reaction is provided in Scheme 2. In this pathway, it is feasible that TiO2 NPs participate in two following reaction steps. The initial step is the formation of alkene 7, which occurs from a Knoevenagel condensation between Meldrum’s acid 1 and aromatic aldehyde 2, via intermediate 5 and 6. The subsequent Michaeltype addition of guanidine nitrate 3 to alkene 7 generates the

The catalyst was prepared by a simple sonochemical method using a precursor mixture obtained from dispersion of raw multiwall CNTs (0.1 gr) and tetraethylorthotitanat (0.3 gr) into 200 mL acetone by ultrasonication. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (0.04 gr) as surface functionalizing agent was then added to the above mixture under strong magnetic stirring. Then, hydrolysis was initiated by adding deionized water (200 mL) into the resultant mixture. The produced solid was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven at 77oC for about 20 h. TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite powder was finally obtained after heating at 400oC in an oven under ambient temperature with a heating rate of 1oC/min for 30 minutes [30].

CONCLUSION In this research, 2-amino-6-aryl-5,6-dihydro-4(3H)-pyrimidinones were synthesized using a highly efficient procedure catalyzed by TiO2-CNTs nanocomposite. The simplicity of operation, use of non-toxic, low cost and recyclable catalyst, avoidance for using any harmful organic solvent, improved product yields, shorter reaction time, and solvent-free conditions are the unique merits of this new method compared to previous methods.
