Application of Sulfonic Acid Functionalized SBA-15 as a Nanoporous Acid Catalyst in Microwave Assisted Synthesis of 2-Aryl Benzoxazoles

Sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 as a nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the synthesis of 2-Aryl benzoxazoles 4 by the condensation of 2-aminophenol 1 and benzoyl chlorides 2 under microwave irradiation in solvent free reaction conditions. The advantages of this methodology are good product yields (60-98%), being environmentally benign, short reaction times and easy work up.

Solvent-free synthesis of flavanones over aminopropyl-functionalized SBA-15

Flavanone was synthesized through the Claisen–Schmidt condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone and subsequent intramolecular Michael addition over aminopropyl-functionalized SBA-15 materials. The catalysts with well-ordered hexagonally arranged mesopores were synthesized by one-pot co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane and aminopropyltriethoxysilane using amphiphilic block copolymer as...

Nano-BF3/cellulose as a biodegradable novel catalyst for synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines

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 research, the synthesis of...

Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of highly dispersed vanadium grafted SBA-15 catalyst

Vanadium oxide grafted on mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been synthesized using a controlled grafting process. Its structure has been thoroughly investigated using different characterization techniques, including N2-physisorption, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and ex...
