Photocatalytic efficiency of CuFe2O4 by supporting on clinoptilolite in the decolorization of acid red 206 aqueous solutions

In this paper CuFe2O4, nanocrystalline powders were prepared. Also, the supported Cu ferrite was obtained by impregnation of the supports with Cu and Fe nitrates solutions, for calcination temperature 450 ºC. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Photocatalytic degradation of acid red 206 in water was studied. […]

Nicotine-based ionic liquid: as a green catalyst for pyridine-catalyzed Huisgen reaction

Nicotine-based ionic liquid has been used as a green catalyst for pyridine-catalyzed Huisgen reaction. It promoted addition of dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate to aldehydes or N-tosyl imines leading to efficient synthesis of 2-benzoylfumarates and 1-azadienes respectively under pyridine free odorless ionic liquid conditions. The improved results were obtained in terms of enhanced yields, with minimal work up.
