A simple and green approach for the synthesis of substituted dihydro-2-oxypyrroles catalyzed by nano-Fe3O4@SiO2/SnCl4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles

In this work, an efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of dihydro-2-oxypyrroles has been developed. One-pot four-component condensation reaction of aniline derivatives (2 mmol), dialkyl acetylene dicarboxylate (1 mmol), and aldehydes ( 1 mmol) was done in ethanol at 65 °C in the presence of nano-Fe3O4@SiO2/SnCl4 as a magnetically reusable heterogeneous acid catalyst. The […]

Green approach for the synthesis of pyranopyrazoles and hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxamides using unripe grape juice (verjuice) as catalyst

Unripe grape juice (verjuice) as a natural catalyst was successfully applied to perform the one-pot reaction of aryl aldehydes, malononitrile, hydrazine hydrate and ethyl acetoacetate to synthesize pyranopyrazole derivatives in aqueous ethanol at room temperature in excellent yields. Furthermore, unripe grape juice catalyzed one-pot synthesis of hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives by the four-component reaction of arylaldehydes, dimedone, […]

Green synthesis of Ag/Fe3O4/ZrO2 nanocomposite using aqueous Centaurea cyanus flower extract and its catalytic application for reduction of organic pollutants

In this work, at first, nano ZrO2 and Fe3O4/ZrO2 nanocomposite were prepared by sol-gel and co-precipitation methods, respectively. Then, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were mixed with themin environmentally friendly and mild conditions using C. cyanus flower extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, and VSM […]

A novel nano perfluoro ionic liquid as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of chromenes under mild and solvent-free conditions

1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenolate [mim]C6F5O as a novel nano ionic liquid was designed, synthesized and characterized by using various techniques such as Fourier transform spectroscopy infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), derivative thermal gravimetric (DTG) and elemental analysis […]

Kinetic comparison of Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/MgO-Al2O3 nano structure catalysts in CO2 reforming of methane

The kinetic characteristics of the Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/MgO-Al2O3 catalysts were investigated in CO2 reforming of methane (CRM). The reaction orders (α and β) and the rate constant (k) were calculated using the non-linear regression analysis, in which the sum of the squared differences of calculated and experimental CO2 reforming of methane rates were minimized. The […]

-Fe2O3@SiO2-PW12 nanoparticles: Highly efficient catalysts for the synthesis of pyrazoline derivatives

A new type of magnetically-recoverable catalyst was synthesized by the immobilization of H3PW12O40 on the surface of silica-encapsulated -Fe2O3 nanoparticles. A series of novel 1,3,5-triaryl pyrazoline derivatives has been synthesized by the reaction of chalcone and phenylhydrazine in the presence of the -Fe2O3@SiO2-PW12nanoparticles,  in high yields. The structures of compounds obtained were determined by IR […]

Nano silica chromic acid/wet SiO2 and NaNO2 as an efficient reagent system for synthesis of azo dyes based on 1-naphthol at room temperature and solvent-free conditions

A convenient, rapid, and one-pot method for the synthesis of azo dyes has been developed. In this protocol, diazotization reagent (ArN2+ -CrO3–SiO2) was prepared via grinding of aromatic amines, NaNO2, wet SiO2 and nano silica chromic acid (Nano-SCA) without solvent at room temperature. The obtained diazotization reagent was sufficiently stable to be kept at room […]

BaO/TiO2-ZrO2 as a green and efficient basic catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation reaction

A simple and green synthetic strategy to prepare BaO/TiO2-ZrO2 as a solid base catalyst was reported. These materials with various amounts of BaO were prepared by the adsorption method. The physical and chemical properties of BaO/TiO2-ZrO2 were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, specific surface area and BJH pore size distribution, FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron […]

Solvent-free direct ortho C-acylation of phenolic systems by methanesulfonic acid as catalyst

The use of methanesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid for direct ortho-acylation of phenols and naphthols proves to be a convenient, more general and direct route to various hydroxyaryl ketones. The route is regioselective, leading to ortho C-acylated products in satisfactory to high yields in most cases. The solvent free reactions described below exhibited environmentally […]

Sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)-sulfanyl]propyl)ester as recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups

Sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl]ester (SASPSPE) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. A good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of SASPSPE at room temperature with short reaction times in good to […]
