an efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes from the aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) in the presence of boric acid [bo3h3 or b(oh)3] as an inexpensive and reusable catalyst is described. the salient features of this methodology are: the elimination of corrosive liquid acids, high yields, simple methodology, short reacti...

an efficient and chemoselective procedure for the preparation of 1, 1-diacatates (acylals) from various aldehydes with acetic anhydride in the presence of brønsted acidic ionic liquid [msei]cl as a reusable catalytic system under solvent-free condition at room temperature and short periods of times with excellent yields will be described. the catalyst was easily separated in simple work-up and ...

An efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withH5IO6/V2O5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][PF6] has been developed. High yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. The catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

Benzyl chloride is economically one of the most important starting materials for a large number of industrial syntheses. Far too much money is now spent to buy and import this valuable product. The production of benzyl chloride has been recognized as one of our national projects and budgeted by the National Iranian Petrochemical Organization in order to economize on the country’s foreign exchan...
