Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles as a robust magnetic catalyst for efficient synthesis of 5-substituted hydantoins using zinc cyanide

In this paper, Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by the immobilization of chitosan on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, the 5-substituted hydantoins were synthesized from the condensation of aldehyde derivatives, ammonium carbonate and zinc cyanide as a well-known cyanating agent by the magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles under neat conditions. Fe3O4-Chitosan nanocatalyst as a renewable hybrid catalyst […]

Citric acid as an efficient and green catalyst for the synthesis of hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (HBIW)

The condensation of benzylamine with glyoxal leads to Hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (HBIW) in acetonitrile solvent with citric acid as a green catalyst under both conventional stirring and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. The influence of four variables, including the amount of catalyst, solvent, reaction time and ultrasonic power, on the reaction yield was investigated. The results showed that the […]

Natural kaolin as an efficient recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of new 2,4-disubstituted quinolines

Substituted 2, 4- diphenyl quinolines were synthesized by a multicomponent domino reaction of anilines, aldehydes and terminal aryl alkynes. The synthetic pathway involves the formation of an imine, followed by the intermolecular addition of an alkyne to the imine. This intermediate immediately undergoes ring closure and oxidative aromatization. The reaction is catalyzed by natural kaolin, […]

Study of catalytic performance of LaMnO3 and LaMnO3-ZSM-5 nanocatalysts toward 2-propanol conversion

LaMnO3 and LaMnO3/ZSM-5 nano catalysts were synthesized by Pechini method and their physical-chemical properties were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, UV-vis DRS, BET surface area and TPR. The correlation between characteristic properties and activity of catalysts were investigated. The catalytic performance of the catalysts was evaluated in combustion of 2-propanol and compared with 1% Pt/Al2O3 […]
