Lanthanum (III) oxide (La2O3) was applied as an efficient bifunctional catalyst to develop a new methodology in the production of 2-amino-4-aryl-4H-pyrans and pyrazolopyranopyrimidines in the absence of solvent. In both synthetic protocol, due to the dual functionality of lanthanum (III) oxide (i.e. having basic and acidic Lewis sites), it was very useful and general, and […]
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterial was fabricated by anchoring an organic constituent possessing a 4,4′-bipyridine framework to nano-silica (as an inorganic constituent). The nanomaterial, namely 1-(Si-pr)-[4,4′-bipyridine]-1,1ʹ-diium dihydrogen phosphate anchored to nano-silica (SPBDS), was characterized by EDS, elemental mapping, FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and TG analyses. Thereafter, bis(pyrazolyl)methanes were successfully constructed through the solvent-free reaction of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one […]
