The novel acid-base magnetic recyclable catalyst prepared through carbon disulfide trapping process: Applied for green, one-pot, and efficient synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4 (1H) -ones and bis(indolyl)methanes in large-scale

[Display omitted] •The synthesis of magnetic acid–base cooperativity catalyst through novel, facile and efficient method.•Synthesis of substituted dihydroquinazolinones and bis(indolyl)methanes with excellent yields in mild and green reaction conditions.•The easy separated catalyst recycled and employed for other eight successive runs.•The important medicinal compounds were successfully performed using introduced catalytic system in large-scale. Herein, a nano acid-base catalyst using magnetic core and carbamodithioic acid functional group have been synthesized and characterized. Its efficiency in the synthesis of dihydroquinazolinones and bis(indolyl)methanes derivatives was investigated. This novel metal-free catalyst exhibited significant catalytic activity in both reactions under green and mild reaction conditions (the yield obtained for the first reaction products: 82–98 % and for the second one: 61–97 %). The catalyst displayed good recyclability with no significant loss of catalytic activity after eight runs (the conversion of the eighth run was found as 83 %, the fresh catalyst conversion was 95 %). The introduced approach is attractive due to its applicability in the large-scale synthesis of important medicinal compounds.
