Synthesis and characterization of Cu(II)-Adenine-MCM-41 as stable and efficient mesoporous catalyst for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles and 1H-indazolo [1,2-b]phthalazine-triones

A simple and efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis and characterization of new Cu(II) complex supported into MCM-41 channels modified with adenine (Cu(II)-Adenine-MCM-41) as a reusable and heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles and 1H-indazolo [1,2-b]phthalazine-triones. The key advantages of this method are easy work-up, short reaction times, pure product formation with good to excellent yields and reusability of the catalyst. This catalyst was characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, TGA, EDS, AAS, BET method and FT-IR spectroscopy.
