1. Introduction

Magnetic nano particles are efficient, readily available, high-surface-area, resulting in high catalyst loading capacity and outstanding stability heterogeneous supports for catalysts. They show identification and sometimes even higher activity than their corresponding homogeneous analogues [1, 2, 3]. More important, magnetic separation of the magnetic nano particles is more effective than filtration or centrifugation [4], simple, economical and promising for industrial applications [5]. Among the various magnetic nano particles as the core, magnetic support, Fe3O4 nano particles is arguably the most extensively studied [6, 7, 8].

Kojic acid is a natural pyrone produced by certain filamentous fungi, mainly species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. It is a common by-product in the fermentation of soy sauce, sake and rice wine, and is widely used as a food additive to prevent oxidative browning or in cosmetics as a depigmenting agent [9][11]. Derivatives of kojic acid also have antimicrobial activity against a variety of other fungi and bacteria [12], showing its potential as a polyfunctional backbone for new antimicrobial agents [13]. Therefore, the synthesis and selective functionalization of kojic acids have been the focus of active research over the years [14].

The MNPs–MSA was prepared by the concise route outlined in Scheme 1. Naked magnets Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared through chemical coprecipitation method, and subsequently were coated with MSA led to the corresponding molybdat sulfuric acid supported on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs–MSA).

The XRD pattern of MNPs- MSA is shown in Figure 1. The position and relative intensities of all peaks in the XRD pattern of MNPs-MSA confirms well with the standard XRD pattern of Fe3O4 [15].

Figure 1 shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of MNPs (Figure 1a) and MNP@MSA (Fig. 1b). The patterns of 2Ɵ values 30.03, 34.47, 39.54, 47.18, 57.96, 61.06 and 66.87 can be assigned to (220), (311), (400), (422), (511) and (440) crystal planes in Fe3O4 cubic lattice which agrees with the standard Fe3O4, were also observed for MNP@MSA (Fig. 1b). This revealed that the surface modification of the Fe3O4 nano particles does not lead to their phase change. However, the weaker peak intensities in pattern Figure 1b compared to Figure 1a can be attributed to the shielding effect of shell on magnetite.

The IR spectrum of MNPs-MSA shows peaks that are characteristic of a functioned SA group, which clearly differs from that of the unfunctionalized Fe3O4 nanomagnets and the MSA-supported magnetic nanoparticles (Figure 2). The FT-IR spectrum for the MNPs alone shows a stretching, vibration at 3420 cm−1 which incorporates the contributions from both symmetrical and asymmetrical modes of the O-H bonds which are attached to the surface iron atoms. The bands at low wave numbers (≤700 cm−1) come from vibrations of Fe-O bonds of iron oxide, in which for the bulk Fe3O4 samples appear at 570 and 375 cm−1 but for Fe3O4 nanoparticles at 611 and 577 cm−1 as a blue shift, due to the size reduction [18, 19]. The FT-IR spectra of MNPs-MSA Fe-O vibrations in the same vicinity, the band at 1221 cm−1 assigned to the Fe-O-S stretching vibrations and SO3H moiety is asserted in 1221 cm−1.

Figure 3 shows the SEM image of the synthesized molybdat sulfuric acid loaded magnetite nanoparticles. It was confirmed that the catalyst was made up of uniform nanometer-sized particles less than 19 nm.

1.1. PH Analysis of MNPs-MSA

To determine the acid amount on the surface, the prepared catalyst (100 mg) was added to an aqueous NaCl solution (1 M, 10 mL) with an initial pH = 5.90. The mixture stirred for 0.7 h, after which the pH of the solution.

2. Results and Discussions

In continuation of our studies on environmentally benign chemical processes [18-24][18], in the present work we disclose that MNPs- molybdate sulfuric acid can be used as a novel magnetic inter phase nano catalyst for the synthesis of 2-substituted aryl (amino) and aryl (indolyl) kojic acid (4a–j, 6a-j) under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 2).

Scheme 2. MNPs-MSA catalyzes the preparation of 2-substituted aryl (amino) and aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives.

In order to optimize the reaction conditions, we examined the synthesis of phenyl (amino) and phenyl (indol) kojic acid as a model compound using MNPs-MSA under various reaction conditions in terms of time and product yield (Table 1). As shown in Table 1, the reaction was incomplete in the absence of MNPs-MSA even after 24 h (entries1 and 2). The optimial amount of catalytic (MNPs-MSA) for synthesis of 2-substituted aryl (amino) and aryl (indolyl) kojic acid was 5 mg (0.87 mol %) under solvent-free conditions at room temperature.

The remaining magnetic nano catalyst was further washed with diethylether to remove residual product. Then, the reaction vessel was charged with fresh substrate and subjected to the next. As shown in Figure 4, the catalyst can be recycled up to 10 runs without any significant loss of activity. In addition, one of the attractive features of this novel catalyst system is the rapid (within 5 s) and efficient separation of the catalyst (100%) by using an appropriate external magnet, which minimizes the loss of catalyst during separation.

For practical purposes, the ability to easily recycle the catalysts is highly desirable. To investigate this issue, the recyclability of the catalyst was examined for the synthesis of 2-substituted aryl (amino) and aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives. We found that this catalyst demonstrated remarkably excellent reusability; after the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether and the catalyst was easy and rapidly separated from the product by exposure to an external magnet and decantation of the reaction solution (Figure 5).

Mechanistically, a reasonable pathway for the synthesis of 2-substituted aryl (amino) kojic acid 4a-j and 2-substituted aryl (indolyl) kojic acid 6a-j using MNPs-MSA is described in Scheme 2.

We presume that when aniline or indole is treated with aldehyde in the presence of MNPs-MSA, an intermediate (I) is formed which is attacked by kojic acid under the influence MNPs-MSA to get the 2-substituted aryl (amino) and aryl (indolyl) kojic acid (Scheme 3).

3. Experimental

All reactions were monitored on TLC by comparison with the samples prepared by known procedures. The Infrared spectroscopy (IR) spectra were recorded using a Shimadzu 435-U-04 spectrophotometer (KBr pellets) and 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 with Bruker 300 MHz high resolution NMR spectrometers. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data were collected on an X 'Pert MPD Philips diffractometer. The SEM image was obtained by VEGA TESCAN. All melting points were determined on a Büchi 530 melting point apparatus and are reported uncorrected.

3.1. Preparation of Molybdate Sulfuric Acid-functioned Magnetic Fe3O4 Nanoparticles (MNPs-MSA)

The MNPs powder (1.5 g) was dispersed in 100 mL ethanol/water (volume ratio 1:4) solution by stirred for 30 min, and then molybdate sulfuric acid (0.6 g) was added to the mixture. After mechanical stirring under N2 atmosphere at 40°C for 4 h, the suspended substance was separated with centrifugation (RCF = 13,200 × g for 20 min). Then, the final product was separated by magnetic decantation and washed twice by dry CH2Cl2, EtOH and CH2Cl2 respectively to remove the unattached substrates [25, 26]. The product stored in a refrigerator to use.

3.2. General Procedure for the Synthesis of 2-substituted aryl (amino) kojic acid derivatives (4a–j)

A mixture of aldehyde derivatives (1 mmol), kojic acid (1 mmol, 0.126 g), aniline (1 mmol, 0.93 g) and MNPs-MSA (5 mg, 0.87 mol %) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for the time specified. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC (EtOAc/hexane, 3:7). After completion of the reaction, Et2O (2× 5 mL) was added and the catalyst was separated by an external magnet. The combined organics were washed with brine (5 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4.The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the essentially pure products in most cases. Further purification was achieved by short-column chromatography on silica gel with EtOAc/n-hexane as eluent. The products obtained were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods such as IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR and have been identified by the comparison of the reported spectral data [3].

4. Conclusion

In summary, we have synthesized the first MNPs-MSA for use as a magnetically heterogeneous basic nanocatalyst. The catalyst is easily synthesized and can catalyze the synthesis of 2-substituted aryl (amino) and aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives from kojic acid with different aldehydes and aniline or indole with good to high yields under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. The characteristic aspects of this catalyst are rapid, simple and efficient separation by using an appropriate external magnet, which minimizes the loss of catalyst during separation and reusable for several times with little loss of activity.
