Modification of silica with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazanomethylphenol for monosaccharide productions

2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazanomethylphenol (DNPHMP) was immobilized onto silicate rice husk ash to form a heterogeneous catalyst denoted as RHDNPH. The elemental and EDX analysis of RHDNPH showed the nitrogen is incorporated into silica. The RHDNPH had 154.6 m2g-1 as a specific surface area. The FT-IR clearly showed the appearance of –NH and C=N absorption band at the […]

Rice husk ash (RHA): A Highly efficient solid acid catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols and trimethylsilyl, tetrahydropyranyl and methoxymethyl ethers with CrO3

A mild, efficient and fast method for the oxidation of alcohols and trimethylsilyl, tetrahydropyranyl and methoxymethyl ethers to their corresponding carbonyl compounds using CrO3 in the presence of rice husk ash (RHA) is reported. All reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. A new, efficient and green catalyst, heterogeneous reaction conditions, […]
