Morpholinium glycolate as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives under solvent-free conditions

In this paper, an environmentally benign access to synthesize Bis(pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives was developed through the one pot pseudo five component condensation reaction of phenyl hydrazine with ethyl acetoacetate, and different aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes using morpholinium glycolate as the homogeneous reusable catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 80 °C. Further, the ionic liquid was prepared and characterized by […]

An environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of azo dyes based on 2-naphthol using kaolin-SO3H nanoparticles

Kaolin-SO3H nanoparticles were prepared via reaction of kaolin and chlorosulfonic acid and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, TEM, XRF, EDS, BET and TGA. The activity of this green catalyst was probed by the synthesis of aryl diazonium salts as the starting reactant and then, their diazo coupling with  2-naphthol to form azo dyes in a […]

(CTA)3[SiW12]-Li+-MMT: Efficient nanocatalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under solvent-free conditions

A highly practical and efficient preparation of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives was developed via an efficient and simple nanocatalyst and promoted multi-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehyde, and urea in the presence of a catalytic amount of (CTA)3[SiW12]-Li+-MMT under solvent-free conditions. In comparison to the conventional methods, the salient features of this method are green reaction […]

Magnetically separable MgFe2O4 nanoparticle for efficient catalytic ozonation of organic pollutants

Magnetically separable MgFe2O4 was synthesized and used in catalytical ozonation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The prepared catalyst was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electronic Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET) and Vibrating-Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The optimum conditions for the highest efficacy of the catalytic ozonation process were found to be pH […]

Nano TiO2–H3BO3 as an efficient and recycable catalyst for the synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles

An efficient method for the synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles through the reaction of nitriles with sodium azide using titanium oxide–supported boric acid (TiO2-H3BO3) catalyst was reported. The reactions were carried out at 120 °C and provided the corresponding tetrazoles in good to excellent yields. This method displayed significant advantages such as stability of the catalyst, high […]

Visible light induced photocatalytic degradation of direct red 23 and direct brown 166 by InVO4-TiO2 nanocomposite

The effect of various parameters (pH, irradiation time, nanophotocatalyst dosages and temperature) on photocatalytic degradation of Direct Red 23 (DR 23) and Direct Brown 166 (DB 166) using pure InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 nanocomposite were investigated under visible light irradiation. InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 were synthesized by hydrothermal and sol-gel/ hydrothermal treatment techniques, respectively and characterized by […]

Experimental design study of RB 255 photocatalytic degradation under visible light using synthetic Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles: Optimization of experimental conditions

In the present study, silver-doped TiO2 (Ag/TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by various Ag doping (wt%) and a combination of sol-gel and ultrasound irradiation. Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Based on the Taguchi method, photocatalytic degradation of (Reactive Blue 255) RB 255 azo […]

Hydrothermally synthesized nanocrystalline Nb2O5 and its visible-light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of congo red and methylene blue

Nb2O5 nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Structural, morphological and elemental analysis of synthesized Nb2O5 nanoparticles was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The average crystal size calculations were performed on the basis of X-ray diffraction pattern and were about 12.44 nm. The synthesized […]
