D-phenyl alanine-oxalic acid (D-Phe-Ox): A novel nano ionic liquid catalyzing the one-step green synthesis of functionalized spirolactones and dispirodihydro-furanyl oxindoles

In this paper, a new nano-size ionic liquid (nIL) has been synthesized from D-phenylalanine and oxalic acid (D-Phe-OX) via a simple procedure. The obtained nIL has been characterized by the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), […]

Employing a hydrophobic-bentonite as a highly efficient and versatile catalyst for a green one-pot and rapid synthesis of 4H-benzo-[b]-pyran derivatives

A hydrophobic-bentonite catalyst (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide-bentonite) has been used as a very mild, neutral, eco-friendly, reusable, non-toxic, low-cost and easily available catalyst. It was prepared by replacing the exchangeable Na+ cations of a homoionic Na–bentonite with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB) cations. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, BET and SEM. The BET data and XRD […]

A study on the catalytic activity of a new acidic ordered mesoporous silica (SBA-15)

SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as a catalyst. This mesoporous silica due to silanol groups is easily functionalized by various organic materials. A new acidic ordered functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-Aminopropyl-Benzyl-SO3H) has been introduced as an efficient catalyst for solvent-free esterification […]

Enhanced removal of methylene blue dye by bimetallic nano-sized MOF-5s

Metal-organic framework 5 (MOF-5) and bimetallic MOF-5s (Co/Zn and Ni/Zn) were prepared via a simple solvothermal method. Samples were characterized by various techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and elemental analysis (EA). Photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue […]

Fe3O4@FSM-16-SO3H as a new magnetically recyclable nanostructured catalyst: synthesis, characterization and catalytic application for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles

A three-component process for the one-pot synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles is described by the three-component reaction of aldehydes, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one and malononitrile in the presence of Fe3O4@FSM-16-SO3H as an efficient magnetically recyclable mesoporous catalyst. Folded sheet mesoporous material (FSM-16) was prepared by intercalation of a layered, kanemite type sodium silicate with cetyltrimethylammonium (CTMA) ions in the presence […]

Ca-modified MFI zeolite: A study on its synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity

Using hydrothermal synthesis process a series of Mobil Five (MFI) zeolites were synthesized with silica to alumina ratio (SAR) of 50, 100 and 200. The synthesized MFI zeolites were used to exchange with 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% Ca(NO3)2 solutions for modification of MFI zeolites to Ca-MFI zeolite. The formation of MFI zeolite phases was identified […]

Evaluation of sodium dodecyl sulfate effects; the response of modified carbon paste electrode with nickel oxide nanoparticles in the presence of methanol

Synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) was carried out by Marrubium astranicum leaf extract. The average of particle sizes for NiO NPs was 40 nm. NiO NPs modified carbon paste electrodes in the absence (CPE/NiO NPs) and the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (CPE/NiO NPs/SDS) were examined for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol in […]

Synthesis and application of Ti-incorporated mesoporous silicate in deep oxidesulfurization of DBT from liquid fuel

In-situ synthesis of Ti-incorporated MCM-41 nano catalyst was carried out by the hydrothermal method to prepare a mesoporous catalyst for the oxidative desulfurization reaction (ODS). Oxidative reaction of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a heavy sulfur compound was evaluated in a solution of n-decane as a model of liquid fuel. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, […]
