Facile and versatile procedures have been explored for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones. These protocols employ the one-pot multi-component condensation of arylaldehydes and aromatic amines with β-keto esters and isatoic anhydride in chloroacetic acid, respectively. The reactions proceeded smoothly to generate the corresponding products in high yield. We have found that the use of […]
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 […]
