Due to the high price of virgin vegetable oils and the drawbacks of the homogeneous catalytic transesterification, in this work an economically profitable alternative process was proposed for biodiesel synthesis in which transesterification of the low-cost waste cooking oil (WCO) with methanol in a heterogeneous system was done. Alumina impregnated with sodium hydroxide was utilized as a solid ...

A SO3 H-containing solid acid namely SO3 H-functionalized phthalimide (SFP) was synthesized from phthalimide and chlorosulfonic acid, and identified by studying its FT-IR, 1 H and 13C NMR, Mass, XRD, TG and DTG spectra. Afterward, its catalytic activity was examined for the solvent-free condensation of dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) (2 eq.) with arylaldehydes (1 eq.). The results ...

In this research, SO3H-functionalizedphthalimide (SFP) has been prepared through simple reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), mass and TG (thermal gravimetric) spectra. Afterward, the solid acid has been utilized as an efficient, green, heterogeneous and recyclable ca...

In this work, SO3H-functionalizedphthalimide (SFP) as a SO3H-containing solid acid is prepared by the reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, Mass, TG, DTG, XRD and SEM. Then, it is utilized as a highly efficient, heterogeneous and green catalyst for the one-pot multi-component condensation of dime...
