INTRODUCTION
Mesoporous silica materials have recently received significant attention because of their potential applications as catalyst. Grafting organo-acidic groups (e.g., propyl sulfonic acid) to the pore walls of the mesoporous silica materials create various heterogeneous acid catalysts for a wide variety of organic reactions.11 Van Rhijn, W.

One of the most specific advantages of this material in comparison to other ordered mesoporous silica is different dispersion of hydroxyl groups on the silica surface that leads to higher hydrothermal stability. Furthermore, due to the presence of more SiOH groups on the silica surface, LUS-1 will be able to react with more surface modifying groups.88 Reinert, P.; Garcia, B.; Morin, C.; Badiei, A.; Perriat, P.; Tillement, O.; Bonneviot, L.; Cationic tern plating with organic counterion for superstable mesoporous silica; Elsevier, 2003; Vol. 146.
Guanidine is a strongly alkaline and water-soluble compound that plays a key role in many biological activities. For example, guanidine affects on the neuromuscular transmission by modifying the release of acetylcholine from the motor nerve.99 Gundersen, C. B.; Jenden, D. J.; Br. J. Pharmacol.
1981, 72, 461. Also in peptides, residue of arginine has a guanidine structure in the protonated form as guanidinium ion, which functions as an efficient identification moiety of anionic substrates such as carboxylate, nitronate, and phosphate functionalities.1010 Kamenskaya, M. A.; Elmqvist, D.; Thesleff, S.; Arch. Neurol.
1975, 32, 510. The guanidine groups specify chemical properties of many co mpounds of medical interest.1111 Wyss, P. C.; Gerber, P.; Hartman, P. G.; Hubschwerlen, C.; Locher, H.; Marty, H.-P.; Stahl, M.; J. Med. Chem.
2003, 46, 2304. For example, sulfadiazine, one of the essential medicines in World Health Organization list, is a sulfonamide antibiotic that contains guanidine substructure.1212 Petersen, E.; Schmidt, D. R.; Expert Rev. Anti-infect. Ther.
2003, 1, 175. Using guanidine and its salt as reagent in multicomponent reactions usually leads to the formation of amino pyrimidines, which are a very important class of therapeutic agents and exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities, such as Tyrosine Kinase inhibitory,1313 Boschelli, D.

2016, 42, 3847 herein, we would like to report a highly efficient method in the synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles using LUS-Pr-SO3H under solvent-free conditions.
EXPERIMENTAL
Melting points were measured using the capillary tube method with an electro thermal 9200 apparatus. IR spectra were recorded from KBr disk using a FT-IR Bruker Tensor 27 instrument. The 1H NMR was run on a Bruker, 250 MHz. The 13C NMR was run on a Bruker, 62.9 MHz. Mass spectrometry (MS) analysis was performed on a model 5973 mass-selective detector (Agilent). The N2 adsorption/desorption measurements were conducted at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) using BELSORP-mini II. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained on a Philips X'PERT diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation at 40 kV and 40 mA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out on a LEO 1445V microscope. The TGA was carried out using a PL-Thermal science PL-STA 1500 instrument. Elemental analyses were performed on a Thermo Finnigan Flash EA 1112 series elemental analyzer.
Synthesis of LUS-1
Colloidal silica Ludox (15.5 g, 0.26 mol) was added to sodium hydroxide (2 g, 5×10-2 mol) in distilled water (50 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 70 ºC until a clear solution was obtained (about 24 h). A second solution of cetyltrimethylammonium p-toluene sulfonate (2.5 g, 5.5×10-3 mol) in distilled water (90 mL) was stirred at 40 ºC during 1 h. The first solution was added drop wise to the second one and then the mixture was stirred at 40 ºC for 2 h. The resulting sol-gel was heated at an autoclave at 130 ºC for 20 h. The surfactant was removed by treatment with HCl 0.1 mol L-1 in ethanol for 2 h. After filtration and washing with distilled water, the synthesized solid was dried under vacuum at 100 ºC.3232 Hashemi, P.; Badiei, A.; Shamizadeh, M.; Mohammadi Ziarani, G.; Ghiasvand, A. R.; J. Chin. Chem. Soc. 2012, 59, 727.
Functionalization of LUS-1
The mixture of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (12 mL) and LUS-1 (10 g) in dry toluene, was refluxed for 24 h and then was filtered. The obtained LUS-Pr-SH was washed with acetone and dried. Then, LUS-Pr-SH (10 g) was oxidized with H2O2 (50 mL) and one drop of H2SO4 in methanol (10 mL) for 24 h at room temperature, then the mixture was filtered and washed with H2O and then acetone to obtain pure LUS-Pr-SO3H as catalyst.
General procedure for the synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives
The sulfonic acid functionalized LUS-1 (0.02 g) was activated in vacuum at 100 ºC and then after cooling to room temperature, aromatic aldehyde 1 (1 mmol), malononitrile 2 (1 mmol) and guanidine carbonate 3 (0.5 mmol) were added to it. The mixture was heated (70 ºC) in solvent free condition for an appropriate time, as shown in Table 2, and the reaction was monitored by TLC. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate and filtered to remove heterogeneous catalyst. Ethyl acetate solution was washed several times with water to remove unreacted guanidine carbonate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium carbonate and concentrated to afford the pure product.
LUS-Pr-SO3H catalyzed the synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles 4 under solvent-free condition
The catalyst was washed with diluted acid solution, water and then acetone, dried under vacuum and reused for several times without loss of significant activity. The spectral data for all compounds are given below.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile 4 were achieved via the three component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes 1, malononitrile 2 and guanidine carbonate 3 using LUS-Pr-SO3H as a heterogeneous acid catalyst (Scheme 1). As previously reported in Introduction section, all reported literature used basic catalysts for synthesis of these compound, so we first studied a reaction of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of LUS-Pr-NH2 at 70 ºC (Table 1, entry 1). We also studied catalyst free system in the same condition to screen the presence of basic catalyst. As shown in Table 1, entry 2, the presence of basic LUS did not strongly affect the reaction yield and time. Because of this reason, we then studied the reaction in the presence of LUS-Pr-SO3H in the same condition. As shown in Table 1, entry 3, the acidic catalyst exhibits good activity for synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles. In order to determine the optimized conditions, we examined the influence of different conditions as shown results in Table 1, entries 4-7. Among the tested conditions the best result was obtained after 3 min at 70 ºC in the presence of LUS-Pr-SO3H in solvent-free condition.
After optimizing the reaction conditions, we next developed the best condition for the synthesis of other derivatives using several aromatic aldehydes, as shown results in Table 2. By these conditions, the reactions were carried out easily to produce 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles in good yields. This methodology has the ability to tolerate a variety of functional groups such as methyl, methoxy and halides under the reaction conditions. For all substrates, the reaction could be completed in 1-7 min with high yields. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate and filtered to remove heterogeneous catalyst. Ethyl acetate solution was washed several times with water to remove unreacted guanidine carbonate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium carbonate and concentrated to afford the pure product. The products were characterized by melting points, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and IR spectroscopic analyses. Melting points are compared with reported values in literature as shown in Table 2.
The acid catalyst can be reactivated by simple washing subsequently with diluted acid solution, water and acetone, and then reused without noticeable loss of reactivity. The reusability of the catalyst was investigated under optimized conditions for the synthesis of the model compound 4a. As shown in Figure 1, the recycling process was completed four times with no significant decrease in the activity of the catalyst. The yields for the four runs were found to be 81, 78, 75, and 74%, respectively.
In these processes, LUS-Pr-SO3H plays an important role in the acceleration of reaction. A suggested mechanism for this transformation is proposed in Scheme 2. LUS-Pr-SO3H acts as a source of H+, which can protonate the carbonyl group of aldehyde and also tautomerize malononitrile. In this reaction, intermediate 5 is formed through the Knoevenagel reaction between malononitrile and aldehyde, and subsequently olefin 6 is produced by dehydration. Subsequent condensation of the guanidine 3 and olefin 6 followed by cyclization and oxidation affords the corresponding products 4 (a-i). The high yields of reactions are attributed to the effect of nano pore of solid acid catalyst, which could act as nano-reactor.
The synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles have been studied with several conditions in literature as shown in Table 3. In comparison with other existing methods, the present methodology offers several advantages such as short reaction times, green and reusable catalyst, simple procedure, good yields, simple work-up and solvent-free conditions.

Synthesis and functionalization of LUS-1
The mesoporous compound LUS-1 was prepared and functionalized according to a previously reported method.3131 Rahimifard, M.; Mohammadi Ziarani, G.; Badiei, A.; Asadi, S.; Abolhasani Soorki, A.; Res. Chem. Intermed. 2016, 42, 3847 As shown in Figure 2, a solution of cetyltrimethylammonium p-toluene sulfonate was added to a mixture of colloidal silica Ludox and sodium hydroxide solution. The LUS-1 was isolated after heating, filtering and removing the surfactant from solid product.
Prepared LUS-1 was functionalized with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxy silane and then, the thiol groups were oxidized to sulfonic acid by hydrogen peroxide (Figure 3).
The catalyst was analyzed by different methods such as TGA, XRD, BET and SEM methods which have confirmed that propyl sulfonic acid groups were immobilized into the pores.3131 Rahimifard, M.; Mohammadi Ziarani, G.; Badiei, A.; Asadi, S.; Abolhasani Soorki, A.; Res. Chem. Intermed. 2016, 42, 3847 Figure 4 illustrates XRD pattern (Figure 4, left) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms (Figure 4, right) of LUS-1 and LUS-Pr-SO3H. The XRD pattern of LUS-1 and LUS-Pr-SO3H exhibits that grafting of organic group did not affect the structural nature of LUS-1 and volumetric analyses shows "Type IV" N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms with "H1-type" hysteresis which are characteristic of periodic mesoporous materials.

SEM images of both LUS and LUS-Pr-SO3H shows the same morphology, it means the morphology of solid didn't change during the surface modifications (Figure 5).
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we have established LUS-Pr-SO3H as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous acid catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives. The current method does not involve any hazardous organic solvents and the short reaction times and simplicity of the procedure provide significant improvements in comparison to other existing methods.
