The esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) with methanol is studied using Sulfonated Porous Carbon (SPC) as catalyst. In compare to the amorphous sugar catalyst and protonated Nafion, the proposed catalyst shows stability and high efficient performance in biodiesel production. The highest initial rate of oleic acid conversion is obtained at catalyst loading of 1 […]
A simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones derivatives under solvent-free conditions. This method uses the condensation of isatoic anhydride, aldehydes, and amines in the presence of a catalytic amount Sulfonated Porous Carbon (SPC). One of the important advantages of the new method is that the SPC could be recycled […]
Easily synthesized1-methyl-3-(2-oxyethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-borate sulfonic acid {[MOEI]-BSA} as a novel catalyst efficiently promoted the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives via condensation of various diamines with 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds at room temperature conditions in ethanol. This research provides a new method for the synthesis of quinoxalines in good to excellent yields with little catalyst loading. The catalyst could be recycled […]
An efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes from the aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) in the presence of boric acid [BO3H3 or B(OH)3] as an inexpensive and reusable catalyst is described. The salient features of this methodology are: the elimination of corrosive liquid acids, high yields, simple methodology, short reaction times, easy […]
Nano-cellulose with high amount of free OH groups could be used as supporting agents for boron trifluoride (BF3). Nano-BF3/cellulose is a solid acid and a biodegradable catalyst which was prepared via reaction of nano-cellulose and BF3. The structure of this catalyst was studied by FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, XRD, EDS, TGA, XRF and BET. In this […]
