Novel acidic ChCl/TFA DES as reaction medium and catalyst for Biginelli and Hantzsch reactions

Novel deep eutectic solvent (DES) using Choline Chloride (ChCl) as the hydrogen bond acceptor and triflouroacetic acid (TFA) as hydrogen bond donor (1.0:1.5 molar ratio) was prepared at room temperature and characterized by FT- IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Also, this novel acidic RTDES (room temperature deep eutectic solvent) was successfully used both as a […]

Encapsulation of a Cu(II) complex with 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid in zeolite-X nanoporosity as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for oxidation of aniline

The Cu(II) complex of 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PydcH2, dipiconilic acid) was successfully prepared and readily trapped in the nanocavity of zeolite-X (NaX) through a flexible synthetic method. The characterization of nanocomposite ([Cu(pydcH2)(pydc)]-NaX) was performed by FT-IR, XRD, BET isotherm, SEM, TEM, and elemental analysis, that approved the encapsulating of coordination compound in the channels of […]

Modification of Indonesian Natural Zeolite (Clipnotillite-Mordenite) for Synthesis of Solketal

Desilication of natural zeolite by alkali treatment to produce solketal was successfully prepared.  Natural zeolite from Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia, has been used as a catalyst source. The natural zeolite source was mordenite type structure. The experimental condition was varied to study their effect on the catalyst efficiency. Several characterization methods, such as Thermogravimetric Analysis […]

Adsorption of silver ions from aqueous solutions using copolymer containing sodium methacrylate functional groups

The negative effects of silver, which is one of the heavy metals, on the environment are known. Hence, to remove this dangerous heavy metal from the environment, poly(methacrylic acid), whose adsorption capability has been tested in previous studies, was used. But unfortunately, it performed poorly for silver ions. Therefore, this polymer was modified as poly(sodium […]

Fe3O4@SiO2@Vitamin C@Fe2O3 Nanoparticles as a Novel Green Catalyst for One-pot Synthesis of 3-amino-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile Derivatives

In this research, we report a novel and green magnetic nanocatalyst; Fe3O4@SiO2@Vitamin C@Fe2O3 for clean synthesis of 3-amino-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles with high-yield in water as solvent at room temperature. The nanocatalyst is stable under the synthetic conditions and it can be reused several times without considerable reduction in its catalytic activity. The catalyst structure was characterized by […]

Fe3O4@SiO2@IL‐PVP magnetic nanoparticles: Effective synthesis of spirooxindoles

Various magnetite heterogeneous catalysts for the organic reaction are increasingly recognized while their stability still is a critical challenge. In this regard, SiO2, ionic liquid (IL), and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were applied as a three-layer stabilization system for modifying magnetic Fe3O4 to produce Fe3O4@SiO2@IL‐PVP as a novel nanocatalyst. The Fe3O4@SiO2@IL‐PVP as stabilized heterogeneous catalysts were […]
