Abstract

An efficient protocol to synthesize a series of new 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives under mild conditions is developed. The catalyst consists of iron loaded on zirconia (Fe2O3/ZrO2) and is reusable for up to six cycles. Excellent yields (92–98%) were obtained under room-temperature conditions in a short time (~ 20 min) with ethanol as solvent. Different wt% of catalyst material was prepared by simple wet-impregnation technique, and materials were characterised by powder-XRD, TEM, SEM, BET and FT-IR techniques. The structures of the new 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were confirmed employing various spectroscopic techniques. Facile preparation and avoidance of any column separation are the main advantages of this protocol.
