a simple and green chemical procedure was reported for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones from various aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and urea or thiourea using  holmium chloride as catalyst. the reactions were performed under solvent free conditions with ultrasound irradiation as the energy source. the advantages of this protocol include the excellent yield, operational simplicity, short tim...

silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (sbpdsa) was found as an efficient solid acid for the synthesis of coumarins. coumarin derivatives were obtained via the pechmann condensation reaction of phenols and β-keto-esters at 80 oc under solvent-free conditions. also, biscoumarins were obtained via the condensation of aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin in water at reflux conditions. t...

cellulose was applied as a reusable and green catalyst for the facile four-component synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-3-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile derivatives using hydrazine monohydrate, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and aryl aldehydes, under solvent-free and thermal conditions. the use of non-toxic and inexpensive catalyst, short reaction time, clean work-up and goo...

a simple, novel, efficient and three-component procedure for the synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives by the reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, aldehyde and 2-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride promoted by ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim]br) under solvent-free conditions is reported. the presented method is benefited from operational simplicity,...

Systems for multi-level logic optimization are usually based on a set of specialized, loosely-related transformations which work on a network representation. The sequence of transformations in a synthesis scenario (script) is crucial for the performance of the whole system. This paper presents the application of a genetic algorithm for automatic tuning of scenarios, and therefore an approach fo...

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...

Poly(4-vinylpyridine)-supported copper iodide nanoparticles is reported as a new, green and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of aryl-14H-dibenzo [a-o] xanthenes under solvent-free conditions. This catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and recycled up to 8 consecutive runs without any loss of their efficiency.
