Maltose as a green catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2(5H) ones in water

Maltose as an efficient, available, cheap and eco-friendly catalyst has been applied for the synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2(5H)one derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of arylamines, aromatic aldehydes and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in water. This method has notable advantages in terms of simple workup, no need for column chromatography, short reaction time and high yields.

A facile one-pot four-component synthesis of dihydropyrrol-2-ones using Cl3CCO2H

A convenient synthesis of different types of polyfunctional dihydropyrrol-2-ones via one-pot four component reactions of formaldehyde, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and amines, catalyzed by trichloroacetic acid (Cl3CCO2H) at room temperature has been investigated. The significant advantages of this synthetic method are mild reaction conditions, available and inexpensive material, short reaction times, good yields, simple work-up.

An efficient synthesis of 4-aryl-7-benzylidene-hexahydro-2H-cyclopenta[d] pyrimidin-2-ones/thiones catalyzed by p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid

A new and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-aryl-7-benzylidene-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-2-ones through Biginelli-like reaction of cyclopentanone, with urea/thiourea and aromatic aldehyde employing p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) as a recyclable catalyst under solvent-free condition. The recovered catalyst was recycled for further runs. The product formation takes place via a cross-aldol condensation of benzaldehyde with cyclopentanone […]

Multi-component preparation of diethyl/methyl 1,3-diaryl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-4,5-dicarboxylates using hydrated phosphomolybdic acid as an efficient catalyst

The synthesis of diethyl/methyl 1,3-diaryl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-4,5-dicarboxylates can be achieved using one-pot reaction from dialkylacetylene dicarboxylate, amines, and formaldehyde by employing hydrated phosphomolybdic acid (H3[P(Mo3O10)4].xH2O) as catalyst at room temperature. The effect of various solvent and catalyst amount was investigated. The salient features of the present method are: simple and straightforward work-up, cost-effective and environmentally benign procedure. […]

Multi-component, one-pot, aqueous media preparation of dihydropyrano[3, 2-c]chromene derivatives over MgO nanoplates as an efficient catalyst

Red pine leafs were applied for the green method preparation of MgO nano-plates. The MgO nano-plates were used for the one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrano [3,2-c] chromene derivatives. This procedure is very simple and affords excellent yields. MgO nanoplates were synthesized via a simple precipitation method with the using of an extract solution of red pine […]

Alkyl Ammonium Tungstate Bonded to Fe3O4@SiO2 Nanoparticles; a highly efficient Catalyst for the Oxidation of Symmetrical Sulfides to Symmetrical Sulfoxides

A magnetic organic-inorganic hybrid of Fe3O4@SiO2-functionalized propylpiperazine-1,4-diium tungstate (A) nanoparticles with a spherical structure was prepared and completely characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA-DTA, and FT-IR spectral techniques. The magnetic hybrid was used in the oxidation of symmetrical sulfides to symmetrical sulfoxides under ambient conditions. The excellent yields of sulfoxides, easy operation, and recovery, magnetic properties […]
