Abstract :

An efficient route reported to the application of palladium nanoparticles dispersed on 2-aminopyrimidine functionalized cellulose nanocrystal (CNC-AMPD-Pd) as a novel, suitable and reusable catalyst in the one-pot, three component synthesis of different α-aminonitriles at ambient temperature under solvent free reaction conditions. The heterogeneous catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused at least 6 times with no significant loss of catalytic activity.
