Niobium Oxides as Heterogeneous Catalysts for Biginelli Multicomponent Reaction.

This study reports a simple, reusable, and recoverable niobium-based heterogeneous catalysts for Biginelli multicomponent reactions. Different methods of catalysts preparation were investigated. For this purpose, HY-340 (NbO·HO) and NbO were chemically and/or thermally treated and investigated as catalysts for dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs) production.
