MgO nanopowders catalyzed synthesis of pyrano[4,3-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives

A cubic phase of pure MgO nanopowders was prepared in an aqueous solution containing freshly squeezed orange juice with pulp and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic techniques. The catalytic potential of MgO nanopowders was evaluated in preparation of pyrano[4,3-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine and chromeno[4,3-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines derivatives using the three simple methods including thermal, ultrasonic irradiation, and high-speed ball milling (HSBM) technique under solvent-free conditions. All products were successfully formed in high yields.
