Tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols, acetylation of aldehydes and N-Boc protection of amines are efficiently catalyzed by melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA). All reactions were performed at room temperature in good to high yields.
Various types of aldehydes undergo crossed-Aldol condensation with ketones in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) under solvent-free conditions. The reported method is mild, efficient and has the advantages such as using heterogeneous catalysis, short reaction times, high yields of the products and the recyclability of the catalyst.
A novel catalytic synthesis of 3,3′-(arylmethylene)-bis-(4-hydroxy-2H-chromene-2-one) derivatives from a tandem condensation reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. The reaction occurs in water in the presence of Melamine trisulfonic acid as catalyst to give the corresponding products in good to high yields. This green approach has several advantages such as short reaction times, […]
