In this paper, Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by the immobilization of chitosan on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, the 5-substituted hydantoins were synthesized from the condensation of aldehyde derivatives, ammonium carbonate and zinc cyanide as a well-known cyanating agent by the magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles under neat conditions. Fe3O4-Chitosan nanocatalyst as ...

In general, Lewis acid catalysts are metal-based compounds that owe their reactivity to a low-lying empty orbital. However, one potential Lewis acid that has received negligible attention as a catalyst is the carbocation. We have demonstrated the potential of the carbocation as a highly powerful Lewis acid catalyst for organic reactions. The stable and easily available triphenylmethyl (trityl) ...

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...

A magnetic nanoparticle-supported Pd catalyst was readily prepared from inexpensive starting materials and shown to catalyze various oxidation reactions with high turnover number (TON) and excellent selectivity. The ease of recovery using an external magnetic field, high activity, and the intrinsic stability of the catalyst make this protocol economic and sustainable.

Co@pyr/APTZCMNPs was synthesized, and some of its characteristic analyses, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were investigated. The results indicated that this heterogeneous catalyst was an excellent and reusable system to synthesize of 14H</e...

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...

Oxidation reaction of indole to isatin was performed in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (as catalyst) and commercial grade perhydrol (as oxidant). Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation method and characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The efficiency of reaction was obtained from GC analysis of the mixture. The catalyst was easily separated from the reaction m...

A bio-based magnetic nano-catalyst (Fe3O4@nano-dextrin/Ti(IV)) was synthesized via the preparation of Fe3O4@nano-dextrinas magnetic support and then its treatment with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The properties of this catalyst were characterized by different kinds of techniques such as FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, ICP, XRF, VSM and TGA....
