Hydrogenation of benzoic acid using monoand bimetallic catalyst of Ru, Pd, Co, and Re yielded different products. It was observed that 5% Ru/C was an active catalyst for hydrogenation of both aromatic ring and carboxylic group, while Pd/C catalyst hydrogenated only aromatic ring. Ru-Sn/Al2O3 is a chemoselective catalyst for hydrogenation of –COOH group of benzoic acid.

Herein, it has been shown that the bismuth ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (BFO-MNPs) are new, efficient and recyclable catalysts for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the Hantzsch reaction. The one-pot four-component cyclocondensation reaction of dimedone, aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate was carried out under solvent-free conditions. The...

a simple and efficient method for the chemoselective 1,1-diacetate protection of aromatic aldehydes with acetic anhydride by using ni2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell magnetic γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap-ni2+) under solvent free conditions. this method has several advantages, including high yield, short reaction time, simple work-up and recyclable property of the catalyst. the ca...

3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium tetrachloroferrate {[Msim]FeCl4} as an efficient sulfur catalyst was prepared and applied, as an efficient catalyst, for the cross-aldol condensation reaction between cycloalkanones and arylaldehydes to give α,αʹ- bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones in high yields and short reaction times at 75 °C under solvent-free conditions. 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium...

A magnetically recoverable catalyst consisting of Mn (III) salophen complex was prepared. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The immobilized catalyst was shown to be an ef...

Heterogeneous catalysis and their application in industrial-scale organic synthesis of fine chemicals are greatly facilitated by catalysis and further on by catalyst recovery and recycles to fits most “principles of green chemistry. In acid media, terpenoids generally undergoes various transformations. The terpenoid transformations include various liquid Bronsted and Lewis Acids, Acid clays, He...

using low-cost feedstocks such as rendered animal fats in biodiesel production willreducebiodieselexpenditures. one of the low-cost feedstocksfor biodiesel production could be the fatextracted from poultry feathers producedin slaughterhouses abundantly. this paper describes a new andenvironmentally friendly process for developing biodiesel production technology from feather waste producedin pou...

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 mmol H+ and mole ra...

In the present study, the core-shell magnetic nanostructure of Fe3O4@SiO2@CeO2 was synthesized to investigate its use as an effective photocatalyst for methylene blue removal. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The photocatalytic activity for the Fe3O4@SiO2@CeO2 core-shell magneti...

a simple and efficient one-pot, three-component strecker reaction of protected amino acids, aromatic aldehydes, and trimethylsilyl cyanide has been developed for the synthesis of chiral α-amino nitriles. the reaction was carried out in the presence of catalytic amount of phosphotungstic acid (h3[p(w3o10)4]) as an environmentally friendly catalyst.
