V‐N‐C catalysts anchored to mesoporous Al‐SBA‐15 with tailorable pore sizes for the synthesis of spirooxindole dihydroquinazolinones derivatives

Heterogeneous nanoscale catalyst was successfully synthesized via anchoring of V‐bis(2‐aminobenzamide) complex on the Al‐SBA‐15. This modified mesoporous was identified by several characterization techniques, such as X‐ray diffraction, field emission‐scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform‐infrared, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and transmission electron microscopy. V‐Bis(2‐aminobenzamide)@Al‐SBA‐15 was found to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the rapid and desirable synthesis of various spirooxindole dihydroquinazolinones derivatives. In addition, the heterogeneous nanocatalyst was chemically stabilized in organic and aqueous solutions as well as can be expeditiously reused for at least seven cycles without a significant loss in catalytic activity.
