Preparation and application of HMCM-22 zeolite as an efficient solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of acetals

HMCM-22 with a Si:Al molar ratio of 15:1 has been shown to effectively catalyze the synthesis of acetals with 100% selectivity by the reaction of aldehydes with methanol under reflux conditions. Platelet HMCM-22 particles were prepared by the static strategy and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), […]

Preparation and characterization of ionic liquid functionalized SBA-15 and its application in the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones

N-Methyl-Nʹ-propyltrimethoxysillylimidazolium chloride was prepared as ionic liquid (IL) containing silylating agent and then used for modification of the internal surface of SBA-15 to gain a heterogeneous ionic liquid catalyst. Subsequently, the obtained SBA-IL was characterized using various techniques, including SEM and TEM images, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, TGA/DTA and BET analyses. It was found that the […]

Efficient synthesis of xanthene derivatives in aqueous media in the presence of Cu-anchored furfural imine-functionalized halloysite

A novel hybrid catalyst based on grafting Cu on furfural imine-functionalized halloysite was designed, characterized and used for promoting synthesis of xanthene derivatives via three- component reaction of benzaldehyde derivatives, dimedone, and β-naphthol in aqueous media and under mild reaction condition. The results established high catalytic activity of the hybrid system, which was superior to […]
