A  convenient  and  efficient  one-pot  four-component  synthesis  of  1,  2,  4,  5-tetrasubstituted  imidazoles  using  nano  TiO2  as  a  recyclable  catalyst  is  reported.  The results  show  that  the  methodology  has  several  advantages  such  as  low  loading  of catalyst,  excellent  yield,  short  reaction  time,  operational  simplicity  and  solvent-free conditions.

A new one-pot, efficient three-component condensation of dimedone, urazole and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of silica supported sodium hydrogen sulfate as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of novel Triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-1,3,8-trione derivatives under solvent-free conditions is described.

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.

An efficient and expeditious catalyst-free procedure was developed for the one- pot synthesis of 1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives via the three-component reaction of various aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate in PEG-400. The reaction was carried out at 110°С and the products were obtained in good to high yields.

A phosgene-free synthesis of symmetrical N,N'-disubstituted urea by the reaction of aromatic and aliphatic primary amines and urea promoted by  microwave irradiation in the presence of a suitable energy-transfer solvent such as N-N-dimethylacetamide is described.

Silica-bonded n-propyltriethylene-tetramine (SBNPTT) was found as an efficient solid base for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes. Chromene derivatives were obtained via the three-component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. The heterogeneous solid base showed much the same efficiency when u...

An effective one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidinonoes in solvent free conditions using CuCl2 as an inexpensive and readily available reagent through Biginelli condensation reaction of aldehyde derivatives, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea is described. Excellent yields, short reaction times for formation of the products and simple work-up are attractive features of this green prot...

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.

Silica supported phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5·SiO2) is an efficient catalyst for synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted pyrazoles via the condensation of 1,3-diketones and hydrazines. Simplicity of procedure, mild condition, being solvent-free, high yields, and easy workup are some advantages of this protocol.
