The Fe-MCM-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. The catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by Fe (III) ion exchange. The prepared […]
Alkanedisulfamic acid functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (ADSA-MNPs) were used as effective, low-cost and reusable solid heterogeneous nanomagnetic catalysts for conversion of aldehydes and ketones to corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes using aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30% w/w in H2O) at room temperature. These compounds are important key intermediates in preparation of anti-malaria drugs. The reactions proceeded in […]
Nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (Na+-MMT) was used as a support for the immobilization of 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (Na+-MMT-[pmim]HSO4). This catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity for the preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzopyrans via three-component reactions between aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile. The procedure gave the products in high yields within short reaction times. Also, this catalyst can be reused […]
The reaction of 3-chloropropyl boehmite nanoparticles with caffeine and sulfuric acid afforded BNPs-3-propyl-imidazolopyridinium hydrogen sulfate [BNPs-Caff]HSO4 as a new BNPs-supported ionic liquid (IL) catalyst. [BNPs-Caff]HSO4 proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidines via a one-pot four-component reaction of hydrazine hydrate, ethyl acetoacetate, barbituric acid, and an aldehyde. The attractive features […]
The photocatalytic activity of nano-Bi2O3 was evaluated in degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) as a model of dye pollutant from waste waters. Nano sized Bi2O3 was synthesized using the chemical precipitation method. The as-prepared sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Structural analysis revealed that […]
In this study, CuI nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst was used for the synthesis of 14-phenyl-8H-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13(14H)-diones using aldehydes, 2-naphthol and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione in aqueous media. In this study, it was found that water was the most effective solvent compared to others. Among several catalysts that were tested for this multi-component synthesis, CuI nanoparticles were the best […]
In the present study, the effects of calcium doping on the performance of the co-precipitated Cu-MgO catalysts prepared with different calcium loadings in the selective hydrogenation of furfuraldehyde were investigated. The results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. The conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% […]
A Simple and efficient method for synthesis of tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline derivatives via three component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and 6-amino uracil derivatives using a catalytic amount of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-15-Pr-SO3H) is described. The advantages of this method are easy and clean work-up, high yield, mild reaction condition, reusable catalyst and environmentally benign […]
Titania nanotubes (TNT) prepared by anodization of Ti foils were used for water splitting in a standalone cell. The concentration polarization between the anode side (1M NaOH) and cathode side (0.5 M H2SO4) ensured that the water splitting reaction could take place with no external bias and separate H2 and O2 evolution could be achieved. […]
This study introduces a green and efficient method for preparation of biologically-active substituted 4H-pyrans using the one-pot three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile in the presence of cobalt oxide nanoparticles. Co3O4 nanoparticles were used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, dimedone […]
