in the present of methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, the synthesis of arylidene heterobicyclic pyrimidinones is studied by condensation of aromatic aldehyde, cyclopentanone, and urea or thiourea. using solvent-free conditions, non-toxic and inexpensive materials, simple and clean work-up, short reaction times and good yields of the products are the advantages of this method.

the synthesis of cis-n-[a-carbobenzyloxy-b-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-3-phthalimido-4-styryl-2-azetidinone is described. we have found that the electron-rich schiff bases can afford the cis-b-lactam ring even in the presence of the free hydroxyl functions. the mechanisms of cis and trans-b-lactam ring formation are discussed. the discussions are consistent with the recent publications.

cuo-ceo2 nanocomposite is reported as a green and highly efficient recyclable catalyst for the multicomponent  synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. the catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by xrd, bet specific surface area, fesem and eds analysis.

in this study, an efficient and green process for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones from aromatic benzaldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and urea using al-mcm-41 as heterogeneous catalyst and microreactor under solvent-free conditions has been developed. the advantages of this method are easy work-up procedure, regeneration of the catalyst, clean and neutral reaction conditions.

4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (dbsa) has been shown to be an efficient, mild, green, stable and chemoselective brønsted acid catalyst for the synthesis of 1, 1-diacetates (acylals) of aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. the mild condition, eco-friendly, excellent yields, short reaction times and using an easily available, inexpensive and reusable catalyst are important features of this met...

freshly prepared zno nanoparticles were used as an effective heterogeneous base catalyst for the synthesis of aryloximes. the conversion of arylaldehydes and arylketones into the corresponding oximes (up to quantitative yields) was achieved by simply mixing the liquid reactants and hydroxylamine hydrochloride with zno nanoparticles under solvent-free condition. the procedure was carried out und...

as benzimidazole ring is an important pharmacophore in modern drug discovery and benzimidazoles are very important intermediates in organic reactions, the preparation of benzimidazoles has gained considerable attention in recent years. here, a comparative study on the synthesis of benzimidazoles from aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic carboxylic acid, benzonitrile and o-phenylenediamine under...

an efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (csa) under solvent free conditions is described. the corresponding michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against e. coli, s. aureus and an...
