Synthesis, characterization and using Fe3O4@SiO2@FeCl3 as a new nanocatalyst for aza-Michael reaction between amines and ethyl crotonate

In this article, recyclable Fe3O4@SiO2@FeCl3 was synthesized and entirely characterized by various techniques including XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX and VSM analysis. The catalytic ability of produced Fe3O4@SiO2@FeCl3 was studied in the aza-Michael reaction of diethyl amine and ethyl crotonate which lead to high yield of product. Also, this procedure was used to synthesize other derivatives […]

One-pot three-component synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans in the presence of Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles under microwave irradiation in solvent-free conditions

Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles using Arabic gel (AG) as a reducing and stabilizing agent was prepared by the sol-method. The catalyst identification was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The magnetic analysis showed that the Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 had a ferromagnetic behavior with a […]

Microwave assisted Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed chemoselective reduction of aryl α,β-unsaturated esters with triethylsilane

< p>In this communication, we have reported that the Pd(OAc)2–Et3SiH-DMF system promotes the microwave-assisted chemoselective reduction of aryl α,β-unsaturated esters in good yields. The protocol affords a convenient reduction of aryl-conjugated double bonds even in presence of other functional groups like esters, phenols, and ethers.

Comparing activated carbon and magnetic activated carbon in removal of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate from aqueous solution by heterogeneous catalytic ozonation process

Activated carbon from pine cone (PCAC) was used as a precursor to prepare Fe3O4/magnetic activated carbon (MPCAC). Here, the removal of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) was studied using catalytic ozonation process (COP) in exposure to MPCAC. Subsequently, it was compared with PCAC. Moreover, the effects of solution’s initial pH, catalyst dosage, and the time of […]

Fe3O4@nano-dextrin/Ti(IV) as a bio-based magnetic nano-catalyst for facile synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones

A bio-based magnetic nano-catalyst (Fe3O4@nano-dextrin/Ti(IV)) was synthesized via the preparation of Fe3O4@nano-dextrinas magnetic support and then its treatment with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The properties of this catalyst were characterized by different kinds of techniques such as FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, ICP, XRF, VSM and TGA. As a first report, the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@nano-dextrin/Ti(IV) was investigated […]

Layered double hydroxides: Novel nanocatalysts for combustion of gaseous toluene from polluted air

The catalytic performance of Ni-Al, Mg-Al, and Co-Ni LDHs as novel nanocatalysts was evaluated in the oxidation of toluene. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD and FTIR approved the structure and functional groups of the LDH, respectively. Also, the presence of […]

Photocatalytic degradation of malachite green dye using NiAl2O4 and Co doped NiAl2O4 nanophotocatalysts prepared by simple one pot wet chemical synthetic route

Novel metal oxides have been studied worldwide due to their potential uses in ecological refinement, particularly to eliminate organic impurities present in water. In this work, we report the preparation of Ni1-xCoxAl2O4-δ (where x=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) nanoparticles by simple chemical precipitation route. The as-synthesized spinel particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), […]

Synthesis of novel tridentate ligand-based palladium catalyst and investigation of its reactivity towards Suzuki, Sonogashira and Heck coupling reactions

We have demonstrated a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of a novel imine based tridentate ligand and its Pd-complex to investigate the C-C cross-coupling reactions, that involve column chromatography purification in only one step. The catalytic activity of the newly synthesized catalyst was studied for the Suzuki, Sonogashira and, Heck cross-coupling reactions under […]

Synthesis of densely functionalized chromenes using a magnetic recoverable ionic liquid as the catalyst

In the present study, robust, versatile and straightforward strategy for the diversity-oriented convergent synthesis of a vast range of highly functionalized and biologically effective chromenes is introduced with the reaction of malononitrile, dimedone/cyclohexadione/4-hydroxycoumarin and benzaldehydes in the presence of [γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Si(CH2)3BF4@DMIM] as the catalyst. The structures of all the newly synthesized products were characterized by spectroscopic […]
