Abstract
An efficient and concise method for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives was developed using o-phenylenediamine derivatives, 4,4-dimethyl cyclohexane-1,3-dione, and different aldehydes through a rapid three-component domino reaction in the presence of the SrFe12O19 magnetic nanocatalyst under solvent-free conditions.The SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The main advantages of using this nanocatalyst are its easy handling and removal from the reaction mixture, by the use of an external magnet, and reusing it several times without any loss of activity. Some parameters such as the bond length and bond strength between the obtained products and the GABA receptor were evaluated to have an insight on the interactions involved. The electrostatic energy, ligand efficiency, log P, and the total binding energy of the compounds with the receptor were also calculated.
