Melamine trisulfonic acid as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the crossed-Aldol condensation of ketones and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions

Various types of aldehydes undergo crossed-Aldol condensation with ketones in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) under solvent-free conditions. The reported method is mild, efficient and has the advantages such as using heterogeneous catalysis, short reaction times, high yields of the products and the recyclability of the catalyst.

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.

Hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of sodium borohydride using sulfonated porous carbon as reagent/catalyst

The hydrolysis of sodium borohydride as a source of hydrogen gas is studied at different mole ratios of H+ to NaBH4. The sulfonated porous carbon (SPC) is used as a source of hydrogen ion and catalyst. It is found that the sulfonated porous carbon exhibits high activity for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to generate hydrogen […]

A green, efficient, and rapid procedure for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c] quinoline and pyrano[3,2-c]pyridone derivatives catalyzed by [BMIm]Cl

A highly practical and efficient preparation of pyrano[3,2-c]pyridone and pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives was developed via an ionic liquid mediated and promoted multi-component reaction of malononitrile, aldehyde, and 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one or 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one. The combinatorial syntheses were achieved for the first time without applying extra activation energy at ambient temperature while making use of [BMIm]Cl as a catalyst solvent.
