Cascades Synthesis of N-Aryl Oxindole Nitrone Derivatives using Isatine Oximes and Arylboronic Acids Catalyzed by Copper Acetate under Mild Conditions

Cu-catalysis was employed to create numerous (E)-5-bromo-N-aryl oxindole nitrones with satisfactory to excellent coupling efficiencies. This process involved the reaction of N-unprotected 5-bromoisatin-3-oximes and aryl-boronic acid derivatives under mild reactive conditions. Remarkably, the reaction exhibited tolerance towards several aryl-boronic acids containing diverse functional sensitivity subgroups (73% to 97% yields and 2 to 6 h). Extensive […]

Synthesis of new magnetic, reusable oil sorbent catalysts based on dodecanol and dodecyl sulfate: their application for oil/water separation

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using the co-deposition method. They were coated with a silica layer through a sol-gel process and treated with dodecyl sulfate (DS) and dodecanol (DO). XRD, SEM, VSM, TGA, BET, and FTIR analysis were employed to analyze these materials. SEM showed that the particles are spherical with good monodispersity. TGA- DTG […]

Pyridinium based ionic liquids as promoters for a green and selective synthesis of N-monomethylanilines

Pyridinium based ionic liquids derived from β-picoline and n-alkylbromides were synthesized by a simple procedure at ambient temperature and then characterized. These neutral ionic liquids were investigated for their dual role as the solvent and promoter for the selective synthesis of a series of N-monomethylanilines using dimethylcarbonate as the methylating agent. A solvent free green […]
