  1. Significant values are in [bold].
  2. aReaction conditions: aldehyde (5a-j, 1.0 mmol), malononirile (4, 1.2 mmol), dimedone (7, 1.0 mmol) and in the presence of CS-g-PAN/Fe3O4 nanomaterial (1) were added to the solvent (2.0 ml). bIsolated yields. cAll compounds are known and their structures were established from their spectral data and melting points as compared with literature values. dYields refer to the isolated products.
