A green and efficient one-pot three component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin or 1,3-dimethylbarbutyric acid, aryl glyoxals and amides (thioacetamide) has been developed in the presence of BF3- SiO2 nanoparticles in water. This method has several advantages such as high to excellent product yields in short reaction time, atom economy, environment friendly, reusable catalyst and no need for chroma...

An efficient and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and thiones by condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and urea or thiourea in the presence of catalytic amount of Brønsted acidic ionic liquid 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride {[Msim]Cl} under thermal solvent-free conditions reacted easily to afford the co...

An efficient method to synthesis the 2H-pyrans using three component reactions of dithiocarbamats, activated acetylenes and isocyanides in water as the solvent is described. In these reactions, synthesis of 2H-pyrans is possible based on the one-pot reaction and without using any catalyst. The mild reaction conditions and high yields of the products exhibit synthetic advantage of these methods.

One-pot four-component synthesis of polyfunctionalized 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives was developed by a condensation of aldehydes, malononitrile, diethylacetylenedicarboxylate and aniline in the presence of choline chloride/urea as a deep eutectic solvent (DES)at room temperature.Moreover, an efficient method was reported for the synthesis of highly substituted 4H-chromenes through one-...

Heavy metals such as Cu(II) and Pb(II) are among the hazardous pollutants that lead to severe ecological problems and have a toxic effect on living organisms. The removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by Iranian bentonite experiment were conducted in single component and multi component systems. The bentonite from the Birjand area was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern and FTIR spectroscopy. The...

A facile, convenient, green and environmentally benign one-pot three-component synthesis of poly-functionalized 4H-pyrans and 4H-chromenes is described. A basic ionic liquid 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethaneammonium formate was found to be an efficient catalyst or catalytically active solvent for the synthesis of those important classes of heterocyclic compounds.

The generation of duration of speech units from linguistic information, as one component of a prosody model, is considered to be a requirement for natural sounding speech synthesis. This paper investigates the use of a multi-level exemplar-based model for duration generation for the purposes of expressive speech synthesis. The multi-level exemplar-based model has been proposed in the literature...

Currently available application frameworks that target at the automatic design of real-time embedded software are poor in integrating functional and nonfunctional requirements for real-time embedded systems. In this work, we present the internal architecture and design flow of a newly proposed framework called Verifiable Embedded Real-Time Application Framework (VERTAF), which integrates three ...

Currently available application frameworks that target at the automatic design of real-time embedded software are poor in integrating functional and non-functional requirements. In this work, we reveal the internal architecture and design flow of a newly proposed framework called Verifiable Embedded Real-Time Application Framework (VERTAF), which integrates software component-based reuse, forma...

We present a new release of PRISM-games, a tool for verification and strategy synthesis for stochastic games. PRISM-games 2.0 significantly extends its functionality by supporting, for the first time: (i) long-run average (mean-payoff) and ratio reward objectives, e.g., to express energy consumption per time unit; (ii) strategy synthesis and Pareto set computation for multi-objective properties...
