Nano-silica supported ethane-sulfonic acid: An efficient heterogeneous solid acid catalyst for one-pot synthesis of xanthene and acridine derivatives

In this study, silica nanoparticles were used as support to prepare a new heterogeneous catalyst system for application in organic reactions. The reaction of silica nanoparticles with sodium 2-bromoethane-1-sulfonate resulted in the connection of a sulfonic acid group on the surface of silica nanoparticles (NSESA). The synthetic catalyst system was characterized using different microscopic and […]

Preparation and characterization of template-free mordenite type zeolite and comparison of m-xylene isomerization reaction over mordenite and SAPO-11

In this work, Mordenite zeolite was successfully synthesized with Si/Al ratio of 18 in absence of organic template. The hydrothermal method was applied for synthesis under optimum conditions: 24 h synthesis time, 180°C temperature and 2 days aging time. The obtained zeolite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier […]

Synthesis of 14H-dibenzo[a.j]xanthenes using Co@pyr/APTZCMNPs as a novel heterogeneous nanocatalyst

Co@pyr/APTZCMNPs was synthesized, and some of its characteristic analyses, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were investigated. The results indicated that this heterogeneous catalyst was an excellent and reusable system to synthesize of 14H-dibenzo[a.j]xanthene derivatives through a one-pot condensation […]

Preparation, characterization and testing the catalytic activity of a new acidic ionic liquid in multicomponent reactions

In this study, N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine was reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to afford N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N1,N2-bis(sulfo)ethane-1,2-diaminium chloride ([TMBSED][Cl]2) as a new acidic ionic liquid. [TMBSED][Cl]2 was identified by 1H and 13C NMR, mass and FT-IR spectra. Then, its catalytic activity was examined to promote the following multicomponent reactions: (i) the production of 4,4´-(arylmethylene)-bis(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol)s from arylaldehydes and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one in ethanol, […]

Ionic liquid N-ethylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate as an efficient catalyst for designing indole scaffolds and their antimicrobial behavior

Ionic liquid N-ethylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate has been prepared, characterized and used as an efficient recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of a series of indoles and bis(indolyl)methanes. Latter have been further explored for their potential antimicrobial activity against E coli and Bacillus. The ionic liquid used was recycled in the end and its recovery was facilitated […]

Fe-MCM-22 catalyzed multicomponent synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazole derivatives

The Fe-MCM-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. The catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by Fe (III) ion exchange. The prepared […]

Alkanedisulfamic acid functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles as a reusable efficient nanocatalyst for synthesis of gem-dihydroperoxides and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes

Alkanedisulfamic acid functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (ADSA-MNPs) were used as effective, low-cost and reusable solid heterogeneous nanomagnetic catalysts for conversion of aldehydes and ketones to corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes using aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30% w/w in H2O) at room temperature. These compounds are important key intermediates in preparation of anti-malaria drugs. The reactions proceeded in […]

Introduction of Brönsted acidic ionic liquid supported on nanoporous Na+-montmorillonite as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2-amino-tetrahydro-4H-pyrans

Nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (Na+-MMT) was used as a support for the immobilization of 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (Na+-MMT-[pmim]HSO4). This catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity for the preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzopyrans via three-component reactions between aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile. The procedure gave the products in high yields within short reaction times. Also, this catalyst can be reused […]
