Abstract A new nicotine-based organocatalyst supported on silica nanoparticles (Fe(III)-NicTC@nSiO2) was prepared and characterized by different techniques. A series of 1,5-benzodiazepines derivatives were smoothly synthesized via the tandem process, starting from o-phenylenediamine and dimedone (or 1,3-cyclohexanedione), followed by addition of aldehyde in the presence Fe(III)-NicTC@nSiO2 catalyst in water at room temperature. The Fe(III)-NicTC@nSiO2 was also applied as an efficient catalyst for the selective synthesis of mono- and bis-1,5-benzodiazepines. Excellent yields and selectivity, short reaction time, mild conditions, and reusability of the catalyst are valuable features of this method. Graphical Abstract A new supported nicotine-based organocatalyst was prepared, characterized and applied for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepines in water at room temperature.

organocatalytic systems for the synthesis of fine chemicals provided a powerful ecofriendly strategy, due to the benefit of organic nature, the air- and water-tolerating reaction conditions and easy set-up [2–5]. However, high loading and trouble separation of organocatalyst has led to a widespread interest in immobilization of them on the surface, bringing simple recovery and reuse of the catalysts [6, 7]. Many organic compounds such as pyridines, alkaloids, amino acids, piperidine and pyrrolidine were immobilized on the solid materials to provide supported organocatalysts. Nevertheless, some of these substances are known as toxic materials [8–11]. Recently, nicotine has been applied as a fragment of some organocatalysts [12, 13]. Although, the backbone of nicotine composed from both pyridine and pyrollidine moieties but the toxicity of nicotine is far less of each of these ingredients.

1,5-Benzodiazepines are an imperative class of benzofused seven-membered heterocycles, which show various biological and pharmaceutical activities. These heterocycles have been also used in co
