Multicomponent Synthesis and Investigations Fluorescence Activity of Chromenone-Pyrazole Compounds

A synthetic method is described to produce some chromenone-pyrazole derivatives through a one-pot multicomponent reaction using SrFe₁₂O₁₉ as a magnetic catalyst. This method provides quite a few merits, including the use of an effective and easy separable nanocatalyst, high yields of products, short reaction time, and easy work-up. Two of the products showed fluorescence properties, which have detected mercury ions without any interference with other ions. They can detect a tiny amount of mercury ions, which were comparable with other chemosensors. The detection limit is 4 × 10^-7 and 3 × 10^-8 M, respectively, for the compound I and II, respectively, which were considered very low amounts. The effect of mercury on health and environmental pollution is essential in medical science.
