[Et3NH][HSO4] catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j] xanthenes under solvent-free conditions

A simple and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by a one-pot condensation of 2-naphthol with aromatic aldehyde in the presence of [Et3NH][HSO4] as an acidic ionic liquid catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The reaction work-up is very simple and the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and […]

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 […]

Efficient one-pot synthesis of pyrazoles catalyzed by nano-crystalline solid acid catalyst

An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of pyrazoles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with hydrazines/hydrazides has been developed using nano-sulfated zirconia, nano-structured ZnO, nano-g-alumina and nano-ZSM-5 zeolites, as the catalyst. The optical properties of the nano-structured catalysts and organic molecules were studied. The advantages of methods are short reaction times […]

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 […]

Trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane/HOAc/KI system as a new and mild catalyst for efficient synthesis of 1H-benzimidazoles and 1H-benzothiazoles in water

An efficient method has been developed for the catalysis of condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines and 2-aminothiophenoles with different aldehydes into their corresponding 2-aryl-1H-benzimidazoles and 2-aryl-1H-benzothiazoles under mild condition. In this method, trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane (DHPDMDO)/HOAc/KI system was used as a novel and effective oxidant in water at room temperature with excellent results.

A new application of nano-graphene oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst in crossed-aldol condensation reaction under solvent-free conditions

Nano-graphene oxide was synthesized by the oxidation of graphite powders. The structural nature of the nano-graphene oxide was characterized by a variety of techniques including XRD, TEM, FT-IR and UV/Vis. The functional groups on its basal planes and edges of nano-grahene oxide play important role in catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of nano-graphene oxide was […]
