Facile and efficient method for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans and spirooxindoles catalysed by nano-Fe3O4@dextrin/Si(CH2)3/DABCO as a natural-based nanocatalyst in green media

As a natural-based catalyst, nano-Fe3O4@dextrin/Si(CH2)3/DABCO was fabricated and characterized with different analytical methods such as field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray mapping, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The mentioned new natural magnetic nanocatalyst was employed for the three-component synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans and spirooxindoles from aromatic aldehyde […]

Nano silica chromic acid/wet SiO2 and NaNO2 as an efficient reagent system for synthesis of azo dyes based on 1-naphthol at room temperature and solvent-free conditions

A convenient, rapid, and one-pot method for the synthesis of azo dyes has been developed. In this protocol, diazotization reagent (ArN2+ -CrO3–SiO2) was prepared via grinding of aromatic amines, NaNO2, wet SiO2 and nano silica chromic acid (Nano-SCA) without solvent at room temperature. The obtained diazotization reagent was sufficiently stable to be kept at room […]

Nano-BF3.SiO2: A reusable and eco-friendly catalyst for thioacetalization and trans-thioacetalization reactions

Nano-silica supported boron trifluoride (BF3.SiO2) is an efficient, reusable and eco-friendly catalyst for chemoselective thioacetalization of aldehydes and ketones. So, this catalyst was applied for transthioacetalization of acetals and acylals into their corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes or 1,3-dithianes  in good to excellent yields. The reactions were carried out at room temperature under solvent free and grinding conditions […]

Nano-Silica phosphoric acid: an efficient catalyst for one-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (thiones) under solvent-free or sonication conditions

Two simple protocols for the synthesis of three-component condensation reaction of an aldehyde, β-ketoester and urea or thiourea to obtain the 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (thiones) using nano silica phosphoric acid are reported. Short reaction times, high yields, reusability of catalyst and easy workup are some advantages of these protocols.

One-pot preparation of N,N′-alkylidenebisamides promoted by BF3.SiO2

A highly efficient procedure for the preparation of N,N’-alkylidenebisamides in the presence of BF3.SiO2 as a catalyst is described. N,N’-alkylidenebisamides have been prepared via one-pot three-component condensation reaction of various aldehydes and amides. All of the reactions proceeded in high yields and in moderately short reaction times.
