In this study, Fe3O4@SiO2-PAF-SO3H nanocomposite was successfully
fabricated by immobilization of sulfonic acid groups on the surface
of poly(anilin-formaldehyde)-supported on
magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2
nanoparticles through layer-by-layer assembly. The Fe3O4@SiO2-PAF-SO3H
composite nanostructure was fully characterized using various techniques
including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder
diffraction patterns (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)
and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The one-pot synthesis
of mono and bis 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, as pharmaceutically
interesting compounds, were achieved in high yields via three-component
and pseudo-five-component condensation of an aromatic aldehyde,
ammonium acetate and ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of Fe3O4@
SiO2-PAF-SO3H as a novel retrievable hybrid nanocatalyst under solventfree conditions. This protocol has advantages in terms of short reaction
time, solvent-free condition, high yield and purity, easy work-up and ecofriendly process as well as recyclability of the nanocatalyst (at least 6
times) with no decrease in catalytic activity.

INTRODUCTION
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) attract great
attention of worldwide scientist and researchers
because of their ripsnorting distinguished
properties such as high surface area, low cost,
low toxicity, high stability, simple separation,
easy synthesis and functionalization [1-3]. Due
to the unique and valuable properties of MNPs,
several applications and potential activities have
been reported for MNPs in the field of electronic,
biology, pharmacology, drug delivery and catalysis
area [3-5]. The heterogenization of homogeneous
acidic and basic groups in catalytic reactions (such
as covalently bound acidic or basic catalysts) allows

hybrid nanocomposites have been widely used
in recent years that could be applied in diverse
applications such as drug delivery system, catalysis
and biological diagnostics [3, 6-8].
In multicomponent reactions (MCRs), several
available compounds (three or more starting
materials) react simultaneously in one container to
result a desired product. MCRs produce complex
and diverse combinations of products and follow
many principles of green chemistry, such as
solvent-free or aqueous condition, atom economy,
energy saving with short reaction times, waste
diminish, high yields and selectivity [9-12]. The
