An efficient and selective method for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions

o-Xylylenebis (triphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate) (1) was easily prepared from an aqueous solution of oxone and o-xylylenebis- (triphenylphosphonium bromide). This Compound (1) is a useful and selective reagent for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions and in the presence of catalytic amount of aluminium […]

Nano-CrY zeolite as a new and reusable catalyst for synthesis 2-aryl-1H-benzothiazoles

The Nano-CrY zeolite synthesized and characterized by Fourier transfer infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD),and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The result show that nano catalyst prepared with mainly particles size about 30-80 nm .The XRD show the structure of the zeolite does not collapse. This Nano-CrY zeolite has been used as new, and nontoxic catalyst for catalyzes […]

Lactic acid, as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot three-component synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols under thermal solvent-free conditions

For the first time lactic acid was applied as an efficient and green catalyst for the one-pot three-component synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols via the condensation between arylaldehydes, 2-naphthol and amides or urea under thermal solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields. We have demonestrated a mild and efficient eco-friendly tandem synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols using […]

Et3N as a catalyst for the synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]chromene derivatives via three-component condensation reaction

Functionalized indeno[1,2-b]chromene derivatives have been synthesized via condensation reaction of 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione with benzaldehyde and cyclization with 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamine (Et3N) in EtOH at room temperature. It was observed that benzaldehyde bearing electron donating group gave high yield of product, whereas, benzaldehyde having electronic withdrawing substituent does not participate […]

An efficient synthesis of α,α’-benzylidene bis(4-hydroxycoumarin) derivatives catalyzed by Tl2O3 nanoparticles

In this work, we attempted to synthesize thallium (III) oxide nano structures by direct thermal decomposition using thallium I phenylsuccinic acid coordination polymer [Tl(PsucH)]n as a precursor. Also, Tl2O3 nanoparticles have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD) and IR spectroscopy and then we report a simple and efficient method for […]

New method for preparation of MWCNT-SO3H as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the solvent-free synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/thiones

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been functionalized with -SO3H groups using new three steps chemical routes. Firstly, OH groups have been attached to CNT surfaces through a radical reaction. The second step involves converting the hydroxyl groups into the oxide one and last step included the attachment of –SO3H groups on the MWCNTs surfaces in […]

Enhancement of photocatalytic activity of ZnO–SiO2 by nano-sized Pt for efficient removal of dyes from wastewater effluents

In this work, ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method, and platinum particles were loaded on ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD patterns showed that the zinc oxide samples have a wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase). The crystallite […]

Introduction of sulfonated rice husk ash as a highly efficient reusable catalyst for the protection of the hydroxyl group

A mild, efficient and fast method for the trimethylsilyl (TMS), tetrahydropyranyl (THP) and methoxymethyl (MOM) protection of alcohols and phenols in the presence of sulfonated rice husk ash (RHA-SO3H) is reported. All reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. All the products are separated and compared with authentic samples and/ or […]
