pure azo schiff bases were readily and conveniently accessible in high yields by mixing of the reagents either as aqueous slurry, or by grinding at room temperature. this method, unlike a classical method, needs neither harsh conditions nor organic solvents. the satisfactory results were obtained with excellent yields, short reaction time, and operational simplicity in the experimental procedur...

one-pot preparation of 2,4,5-trisubstituted and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles has been conducted in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridinium butane sulfonic acid) hydrogen sulfate, p(4vpbsa)hso4, as an efficient dual acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. reusability of the catalyst, easy work-up procedure, eco-friendly reaction conditions, short reaction times and high yields of th...

background & aim: essential oils are isolated from different sections of plants such as flowers, seeds, leaves, stems and roots. essential oils are applied extensively in producing of perfumes, cosmetics, foods, beverages and confectioneries and as ingredients of disinfectants and insecticides. experimental: essential oil are obtained by several isolation methods, such as hydrodistillation ...

Interest in metal-organic open-framework structures has increased enormously in the past few years because of the potential benefits of using crystal engineering techniques to yield nanoporous materials with predictable structures and interesting properties. Here we report a new efficient methodology for the preparation of metal-organic open-framework magnetic structures based on the use of a p...

using enrichment procedures, 45 organic solvent-tolerant lipase producer bacterial strains were screened from areas contaminated by oil and organic solvents. among the strains, 15 isolates exhibited extreme stability toward organic solvents and high lipolytic activity. the neb-1 isolate which was later identified as   pseudomonas sp. strain neb-1 by biochemical tests and 16s rdna gene sequ...

The x-ray crystal structures of trans-cinnamoyl-subtilisin, an acyl-enzyme covalent intermediate of the serine protease subtilisin Carlsberg, have been determined to 2.2-A resolution in anhydrous acetonitrile and in water. The cinnamoyl-subtilisin structures are virtually identical in the two solvents. In addition, their enzyme portions are nearly indistinguishable from previously determined st...

a simple, fast, efficient and environmentally friendly method for synthesis of benzimidazole and its 2-alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl substituted derivatives was developed using zeolite hy. two component cyclolcondensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine (o-phenylenediamine) and commercially available carboxylic acids catalyzed by zeolite hy without any solvent, under microwave irradiation led to formation...

o-xylylenebis (triphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate) (1) was easily prepared from an aqueous solution of oxone and o-xylylenebis- (triphenylphosphonium bromide). this compound (1) is a useful and selective reagent for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. the reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions and in the presence...

cellulose bonded n-propyl diethylene tetra sulfamic acid (cbpdetsa) was successfully applied as a green and recyclable acidic catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo [a] xanthene-11-one as an important class of potentially bioactive compounds. the products are obtained by the coupling of 2-naphtol , cyclohexadione and aldehyde derivatives in good to high yields (70- 92%) under solvent-fre...
