Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of different aryl halides with arylboronic acids was successfully carried out in methanol using ortho-palladated complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine. All substrates afforded the corresponding products in good to high yields in the presence of low amounts of this complex as efficient and active catalyst. Application of microwave irradiation improved the yields of the […]
A variety of alcohols readily add to 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran under solvent free conditions in the presence of catalytic amount of acidic ionic liquid [Et3N(CH2)4SO3H][OTs] to afford the corresponding tetrahydropyranyl ethers in good to excellent yields at room temperature. The use of this procedure allows easy separation of the desired products from ionic liquid and recycling the […]
A new dimeric orthopalladated complex was synthesized via reaction of 2,3-dimethoxy benzaldehyde oxime with palladium chloride and lithium chloride in methanol as solvent and sodium acetate as base at room temperature. The catalytic activity of this dimeric [Pd{C6H2(-CH=NOH)-(OMe)2-2,3}(µ-Cl)]2 complex as an efficient, air, and moisture tolerant catalyst was investigated in Mizoroki–Heck cross coupling reaction of […]
A mild and efficient method has been developed for the preparation of substituted coumarins from reaction of various phenols with different β-ketoesters via Pechmann condensation in the presence of Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (N-(4-sulfonic acid) butyl triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate) as an effective catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Different phenols reacted with ethyl acetoacetate to produce the […]
