Cellulose sulfuric acid catalyzed multicomponent reaction for efficient synthesis of pyrimido and pyrazolo[4,5-b]quinolines under solvent-free conditions

Cellulose sulfuric acid was used as an efficient biopolymer-based catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-2,4,6-triones and hexahydro-2H-pyrazolo[5,4-b]quinoline-6-ones via three component reaction of aldehyde, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadione and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil or 5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenypyrazole under solvent-free conditions at 90 oC. The major advantages of the present method are simple experimentation, use of inexpensive and eco-friendly reusable catalyst with good yields and […]

Ultrasound based method for one-pot synthesis of substituted imidazoles using SiO2-OSbCl2 as highly effective and reusable catalyst

A simple highly versatile and efficient sonochemical synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted and 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles is achieved by condensation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compound, aldehyde, ammonium acetate and primary amine using antimony trichloride immobilized on silica gel (SiO2-OSbCl2) as a catalyst in ethanol at moderate temperature. Operational simplicity, practicability and applicability to various substrates make this method an interesting […]

Green and diastereoselective synthesis of trans-3-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho[2,3-e][1,3]oxazines

Reaction between aromatic aldehydes and 3–methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one catalyzed by nano-SiO2/HClO4 in water under reflux provided a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of 4-((5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)(aryl)methyl)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol derivatives in high yields.

Thermodynamic study of an effective catalytic system, hydrogen peroxide and methyltrioxorhenium

The thermodynamic of the known and very effective catalytic system, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) is studied in different solvents using UV-Visible spectroscopic method. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) for two equilibrium reactions, MTO + H2O2 ⇌ A + H2O and A + H2O2 ⇌ B.H2O (A, [MeRe(O)2(O2)]; B.H2O, [MeRe(OH2)(O)(O2)2]), are determined. […]

Role of water in the partial oxidation of propane to acrylic acid over Mo1V0.3Te0.23Nb0.12Ox catalyst

Effects of water on the catalytic performances of MoVTeNbO catalyst in the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid have been investigated at different reaction temperatures and different steam contents. Obtained results show that both catalytic performances and catalyst structure are very sensitive to the presence of water vapor in the reaction feed. Presence of water […]

Boric acid as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes under solvent-free conditions

An efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes from the aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) in the presence of boric acid [BO3H3 or B(OH)3] as an inexpensive and reusable catalyst is described. The salient features of this methodology are: the elimination of corrosive liquid acids, high yields, simple methodology, short reaction times, easy […]

Silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid as a recyclable solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin and biscoumarin derivatives

Silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (SBPDSA) was found as an efficient solid acid for the synthesis of coumarins. Coumarin derivatives were obtained via the Pechmann condensation reaction of phenols and β-keto-esters at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. Also, biscoumarins were obtained via the condensation of aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin in water at reflux conditions. The heterogeneous solid […]

Brønsted acidic ionic liquid ([BMIm]HSO4) as an efficient catalysts for the one-pot synthesis of 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives

The Brønsted acidic ionic liquid ([BMIm]HSO4) catalyzed three-component synthesis of 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives at room temperature. The integrity of the ionic liquid remains reasonably unchanged when it is separated from the reaction mixture by water extraction, as it can be recycled several times without any loss of activity in each of the title syntheses. The products […]

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction catalyzed using highly efficient CN-dimeric ortho-palladated complex under microwave irradiation and conventional heating

Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of different aryl halides with arylboronic acids was successfully carried out in methanol using ortho-palladated complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine. All substrates afforded the corresponding products in good to high yields in the presence of low amounts of this complex as efficient and active catalyst. Application of microwave irradiation improved the yields of the […]
