Abstract
This study has introduced a pioneering methodology by employing biochars as a basic carbocatalyst in the context of multicomponent reactions. Biochars were produced from different manures and organic wastes using the pyrolysis-carbonization process under limited oxygen conditions. The prepared biochars were well characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The chemical characteristics and potentiometric titration analysis provide compelling evidence of the intriguing basicity properties exhibited by the prepared biochars. The pH values, ash content, and potentiometric titration results confirmed the exceptional basicity characteristics of cow manure biochar formed at 600 oC (CB600), establishing it as the most basic carbocatalyst in this study. Encouraged by these initial results, the activity of the biochars as basic carbocatalysts was evaluated in multicomponent synthesis of 4H-benzo[h]chromene and pyranopyrazoles and 600 °C exhibited the most pronounced catalytic performance owing to its superior total basicity. By these findings, it can be asserted that this work introduces the groundbreaking application of biochars as potent basic carbocatalysts for the multicomponent synthesis of structurally diverse heterocycles. Unveiling the vital basic role of biochars will definitely open up new opportunities in organic chemistry and provide salient features for environmentally-friendly chemistry, including easy retrieval, non-toxicity, and widespread accessibility.
