| Abstract: | A novel hybrid magnetic nanocatalyst was synthesized by covalent coating of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with choline chloride–urea deep eutectic solvent using 3‐iodopropyltrimethoxysilane as a linker. The structure of this new catalyst was fully characterized via elemental analysis, transmission and scanning electron microscopies, X‐ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was employed in the synthesis of various 2‐amino‐4H ‐pyran derivatives in water solution via an easy and green procedure. The desired products were obtained in high yields via a three‐component reaction between aromatic aldehyde, enolizable carbonyl and malononitrile at room temperature. The employed nanocatalyst was easily recovered using a magnetic field and reused four times (in subsequent runs) with less than 8% decrease in its catalytic activity. |
