Silica supported phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5·SiO2) is an efficient catalyst for synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted pyrazoles via the condensation of 1,3-diketones and hydrazines. Simplicity of procedure, mild condition, being solvent-free, high yields, and easy workup are some advantages of this protocol.
[B(OH)3]0.78[B(OH)2(OSO3H)]0.22 or (BSA) was simply prepared by addition of chlorosulfonic acid to commercial boric acid at room temperature. This cheap and green solid acid was used as an efficient catalyst for synthesis of acylals from aldehydes under solvent-free conditions at room temperature.
