Polymer/HIO4 : An efficient catalyst for solvent-free synthesis of 2-naphthol azo dyes

A convenient, one-pot method for the synthesis of diazonium salt has been developed by the sequential diazotization of aromatic amines with NaNO2, polymer- supported periodic acid (PPIA) and 2-naphthole under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. By using this method, several types of aromatic amine, containing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, were rapidly converted to the corresponding […]

Modified Biginelli condensation by molybdate sulfuric acid as a powerful and reusable catalyst

Molybdate sulfuric acid (MSA) has been prepared and used as catalyst for the Biginelli synthesis of some quinazolinones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst loading is low and it shows recyclability. This method has advantages such as avoidance of the organic solvents, high yield of pure products, short reaction times and operational simplicity.

ZrP2O7 NPs: A recyclable, efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 1,6-diamino-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivatives via a multi-component reaction

ZrP2O7 nanoparticles (NPs) as an efficient catalyst have been used for the preparation of 1,6-diamino-2- oxo-4-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivatives via one-pot coupling of hyrazine hydrate, ethyl cyanoacetate, malononitrile and aromatic aldehydes under reflux conditions in ethanol. Using this method we obtained low reaction times, easy isolation of the targeted molecules, excellent yields.
