Silica-bonded N-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (SPDTSA) is employed as a recyclable heterogeneous solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of benzopyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines  through one-pot condensation reaction of salicylaldehydes, malononitrile and secondary amines  at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. SPDTSA showed much the same efficiency when used in con...

Convenient procedure for the synthesis of corresponding pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were developed via one-pot three-component reaction of aryl aldehyde derivatives, malononitrile with barbituric acids in the presence of copper (II) chloride dihydrate (CuCl2.2H2O) as highly efficient Lewis acid catalyst. This protocol has advantages such as readily and inexpensive catalyst, high reactio...

The preparation of bis-thiazolidinones has been achieved by a one-pot condensation reaction of araldehydes, ethylenediamine and thioglycolic acid in the presence of nano-CuCr2O4 nanoparticles under reflux conditions in toluene. This method provides several advantages including easy workup, excellent yields, short reaction times, reusability of the catalyst and low catalyst loading.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction of aromatic amines, aromatic aldehydes and β-keto esters in MeOH at room temperature. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are good yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need to column chromatography and an easy wo...

The one-pot, multi-component synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) by tandem Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of phenylhydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in the presence of silica-bonded N-propylpiperazine sulfamic acid (SBPPSA) as a recyclable solid acid catalyst was reported. SBPPSA showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

The one-pot reaction of aromatic aldehydes, ethylenediamine and Oxone (2 KHSO5 x KHSO4 x K2SO4) in pure water was found to unexpectedly afford aldoximes in excellent yields.

A one-pot transition metal-free methodology for constructing pharmacologically active dibenzodiazepine derivatives was developed. Fluoro-, bromo- and nitro-substituted aryl aldehydes were applied to this reaction efficiently.

Various substituted phenols were selectively synthesized by a one-pot reaction through the NHPI-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of 1,1-diarylethanes followed by treatment with dilute sulfuric acid.

Tetrahydroquinoline skeletons can be formed by a CuCl2-catalyzed one-pot reaction of N-methyl-N-alkylanilines and vinyl ethers in the presence of t-butyl-hydroperoxide.

Enzymatic and carbene catalysed ring opening polymerisation can be combined in a one-pot reaction for the metal-free synthesis of degradable block copolymers.
