Optical and photocatalytic properties Undoped and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by hydrothermal method: Effect of annealing temperature

Undoped and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method with different annealing temperature conditions. Structural, chemical and optical properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometry and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The phase purity was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) […]

Green synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes in water using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SiO2-Pr-SO3H)

Bis(indolyl)methanes are important group of bioactive metabolites of terrestrial and marine regions. They were synthesized by different methods. Herein, a clean, one-pot synthesis of bis(indolyl)methane derivatives by cyclo-condensation reaction of indole and various aldehydes using Sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) in aqueous media is reported. The advantages of this new method were simple operation, good […]

Review: Recent advances in one-pot multi-component catalytic synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols

Amidoalkyl-2-naphthols as synthetic intermediates play an important role in medicinal chemistry due to their remarkable biological and many pharmacological properties. Owing to the versatile biological activities, industrial and synthetic applications of these compounds, introduction of an alternative methodology is urgent in synthetic organic chemistry. Low yield and harsh reaction conditions promoted the researchers for the […]

Olefin production from catalytic cracking of light fuel oil over different additives

The catalytic cracking of a fuel oil over fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst has been investigated applying different additives. Catalyst mixtures consisting of a equilibrium FCC catalyst (E-Cat) blended with ZSM-5, MCM-41 and Mordenite additives were examined at the additive levels of 25 wt.%. The catalytic performance of the matrix was studied in a fixed […]

Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of primary alcohols by thiosemicarbazide Schiff base metal complexes

A series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide Schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (ABTSC) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (TCTS) were synthesized with Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ag(I) salts (chloride and acetate). These complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultra violet visible (UV-Vis), molar conductance (λm), […]

Chloroacetic acid-promoted heterocyclic reactions: Efficient preparation of tetrahydropyridines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones

Facile and versatile procedures have been explored for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones. These protocols employ the one-pot multi-component condensation of arylaldehydes and aromatic amines with β-keto esters and isatoic anhydride in chloroacetic acid, respectively. The reactions proceeded smoothly to generate the corresponding products in high yield. We have found that the use of […]
