trimethylsilylation of a variety of alcohols and phenols, in the presence of silica chloride, using hexamethyldisilazane (hmds) in solution and under solvent-free conditions is reported. trimethylsilyl ethers were formed in excellent yields both for aliphatic alcohols and phenols without having an electron-withdrawing group. in addition, sio2-cl can be recovered and reused after drying.

nano-silica supported boron trifluoride (bf3.sio2) is an efficient, reusable and eco-friendly catalyst for chemoselective thioacetalization of aldehydes and ketones. so, this catalyst was applied for transthioacetalization of acetals and acylals into their corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes or 1,3-dithianes  in good to excellent yields. the reactions were carried out at room temperature under solven...

ammonium monovanadate (nh4vo3) has been devoted as an efficient, commercially available, eco-friendly and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes (bims), oxindole derivatives and also michael adducts of indoles at 50 °c under solvent-free conditions. the reusability of this solid acid catalyst in addition with its selectivity has also been examined.

a facile and efficient method for the preparation of 1, 1-diacetates of aldehydes is improved.p2o5/sio2 catalyzed 1, 1-diacetates formation from aldehydes in dry media. advantages of this methodare the use of an inexpensive and selective catalyst with high yields in simple operation and shortreaction time under solvent-free conditions.

a simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1h)-ones derivatives under solvent-free conditions. this method uses the condensation of isatoic anhydride, aldehydes, and amines in the presence of a catalytic amount sulfonated porous carbon (spc). one of the important advantages of the new method is that the spc could be recycled and reused.

brønsted acidic ionic liquid triethylamine-bonded sulfonic acid {[et3n-so3h]cl} efficiently catalyzes the one-pot multi-component condensation of 2-naphthol with arylaldehydes and dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) under solvent-free conditions to afford 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-11-ones in high yields and relatively short reaction times.

an improved, simple, and facile synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones by employing three-component, one-pot condensation reaction of β-keto ester, aromatic aldehydes, and urea or n-methylurea using lacl3/clch2cooh as an inexpensive and green chemistry catalyst system under solvent-free conditions described. compared with the classicalbiginelli reaction conditions, this method has the adv...

friedel–crafts synthesis of triarylmethanes over 3-methyl-1-sulfonicacid imidazolium tetrachloroaluminate under green conditions:in this work, friedel–crafts (fc) alkylation of various arenes with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazoliumtetrachloroaluminate {[msim]alcl4}, as a green catalyst, to prepare triarylmethanes (tams) has been carried out. some aromatic aldeh...

an efficient, simple and convenient route is described for the synthesis of biscoumarin (3,3'-(arylmethylene) bis (4-hydroxy-2h-chromen-2-one)) by using of recyclable catalyst tio2@ksf. in this method, we synthesis biscoumarin derivatives via 3multi-component reactions (3mcrs) of two equivalent 4-hydroxycoumarin with one equivalent of aromatic aldehydes using 20 mg nano tio2@ksf as homogen...
