Tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols, acetylation of aldehydes and N-Boc protection of amines are efficiently catalyzed by melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA). All reactions were performed at room temperature in good to high yields.
A facile and efficient method for the preparation of 1,1-diacetates of aldehydes is improved. The acidified kaolin with sulfuric acid (2 % w/w) catalyzed 1,1-diacetates formation from aldehydes in solvent-free conditions. Both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes gave high yields (85-95 %) of the corresponding 1, 1-diacetates. Advantages of this method are the use of inexpensive […]
This paper describes the applicability of 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, as a cheap, stable and commercially available catalyst, in the promotion of the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydro-xanthenes (DOXOs) via the one-pot condensation of aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. This novel synthetic method has the advantages of high yields, short reaction times, low cost and availability of the catalyst, solvent-free […]
The one-pot, multi-component synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) by tandem Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of phenylhydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in the presence of silica-bonded N-propylpiperazine sulfamic acid (SBPPSA) as a recyclable solid acid catalyst was reported. SBPPSA showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.
1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH) and benzyltriphenylphosphoniumtribromide (BTPTB) were used as efficient catalysts for the promotion of the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives (DOXOs) via a one-pot three component condensation of aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the absence of solvent.
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.
Benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (BTPB) has been applied as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) via electrophilic substitution of indoles with aldehydes in the absence of solvent.
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.
A highly efficient procedure for the preparation of N,N’-alkylidenebisamides in the presence of BF3.SiO2 as a catalyst is described. N,N’-alkylidenebisamides have been prepared via one-pot three-component condensation reaction of various aldehydes and amides. All of the reactions proceeded in high yields and in moderately short reaction times.
Sulfuric acid {[3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl}ester (SASPSPE) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of α-amino nitriles. These syntheses were performed via a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild reaction conditions at room temperature. The catalyst could be recycled and reused several times without any loss of efficiency.
