Core–shell zirconia-coated magnetite nanoparticle bearing sulfonic acid groups (nano-Fe3O4@ZrO2-H3PO4) have been prepared and used as an efficient acid catalyst in the synthesis of fluoroquinolons by the direct amination of 7-halo-6- fluoroquinolone-3-carboxylic acids with variety of piperazine derivatives and (4aR,7aR)-octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b] pyridine. The reaction was carried out in the ordinary or magnetized water as a solvent. In […]
