Kinetics and thermodynamics of the esterification reaction according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism

In this work, kinetics and thermodynamics of esterification reaction were studied. This research investigated the esterification reaction between methanol and acidified oil catalyzed by sulfonated cation exchange resin and proposed a new rate equation for consideration of kinetics of this reaction according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. Thermodynamics and kinetics parameters were calculated according to this […]

Nano-Fe3O4@ZrO2-SO3H as highly efficient recyclable catalyst for the green synthesis of fluoroquinolones in ordinary or magnetized water

Core–shell zirconia-coated magnetite nanoparticle bearing sulfonic acid groups (nano-Fe3O4@ZrO2-H3PO4) have been prepared and used as an efficient acid catalyst in the synthesis of fluoroquinolons by the direct amination of 7-halo-6- fluoroquinolone-3-carboxylic acids with variety of piperazine derivatives and (4aR,7aR)-octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b] pyridine. The reaction was carried out in the ordinary or magnetized water as a solvent. In […]

Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported antimony(III) chloride (PVPP-SbCl3): An efficient catalyst for the synthesis of chromenylphenylpropanones

An efficient synthesis of chromenylphenylpropanone derivatives as warfarine-like analogues was developed by the Michael addition of 4-hydroxycoumarin to α,β-unsaturated compounds in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported antimony(III) chloride (PVPP-SbCl3) as a new polymeric Lewis acid catalyst in chloroform at reflux conditions without formation of 2,4-diarylpyrano[3,2-c]chromen-5(4H)-ones. The synthesized compounds were identified by FT-IR, 1HNMR and 13CNMR […]

Synthesis of the biologically active henna based benzochromene derivatives using ionic liquid functionalized SBA-15 as a nanoreactor

SBA-15 was prepared and then functionalized with N-methyl-N’-propyltrimethoxysilyl imidazolium chloride as ionic liquid moiety. The ionic liquid functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-IL) was characterized by different analytical techniques including FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, TGA and SEM image. According to the obtained results it was found that the organic groups were grafted onto the pores of SBA-15 because its […]

An environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of azo dyes based on 2-naphthol using kaolin-SO3H nanoparticles

Kaolin-SO3H nanoparticles were prepared via reaction of kaolin and chlorosulfonic acid and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, TEM, XRF, EDS, BET and TGA. The activity of this green catalyst was probed by the synthesis of aryl diazonium salts as the starting reactant and then, their diazo coupling with  2-naphthol to form azo dyes in a […]

Magnetically separable MgFe2O4 nanoparticle for efficient catalytic ozonation of organic pollutants

Magnetically separable MgFe2O4 was synthesized and used in catalytical ozonation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The prepared catalyst was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electronic Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET) and Vibrating-Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The optimum conditions for the highest efficacy of the catalytic ozonation process were found to be pH […]
