Melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-triones and some 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-triones

Melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the one-pot preparation of triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-1,3,8-trione and 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-1,6,11-trione derivatives by the three-component condensation reaction of urazoles or phthalhydrazide, dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione, and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields and short reaction times.

Silica-bonded n-propyltriethylene-tetramine as a recyclable solid base catalyst for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes

Silica-bonded n-propyltriethylene-tetramine (SBNPTT) was found as an efficient solid base for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes. Chromene derivatives were obtained via the three-component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. The heterogeneous solid base showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

Facile and mild synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles catalyzed by methanesulfonic acid under solvent-free conditions

Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles. A series of 1-substituted tetrazole compounds were synthesized from the reaction of various primary amines, sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of catalytic amounts of MSA at room temperature. In this protocol, some of the tetrazole derivatives were […]

Disulfide catalyzed the highly regioselective conversion of epoxides to halohydrins with elemental halogens

The regioselective ring opening of styrene oxide using elemental iodine and bromine in the presence of disulfides as new catalysts was studied. The conductivity titration and UV spectroscopy were used to study the interaction of iodine with these catalysts. The results indicate that disulfide 11 is efficient in polyiodide formation, and can catalyze this reaction […]
