Catalytic activities of eight sulfonic acid group functionalized ionic liquids in water were compared for the hydrolysis of Sigmacell cellulose (DP ~ 450) in the 150-180°C temperature range by measuring total reducing sugar (TRS) and glucose produced. The catalytic activity of acidic ionic liquids with different cation types decreases in the order imidazolium > pyridinium > triethanol ammonium ...

bis(indolyl)methanes are important group of bioactive metabolites of terrestrial and marine regions. they were synthesized by different methods. herein, a clean, one-pot synthesis of bis(indolyl)methane derivatives by cyclo-condensation reaction of indole and various aldehydes using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (sio2-pr-so3h) in aqueous media is reported. the advantages of this new metho...

In this study, we investigated the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–COOH) by 1-Amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (ANSA). The functionalized MWCNTs exhibited good aqueous solubility due to the presence of the –OH and – SO3H groups of ANSA. The antimicrobial activity of the MWCNT–COOH as well as its functionalized multiwall nanotube MWCNT-CO-2-(1-amino...

In this research, SO3H-functionalizedphthalimide (SFP) has been prepared through simple reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), mass and TG (thermal gravimetric) spectra. Afterward, the solid acid has been utilized as an efficient, green, heterogeneous and recyclable ca...

3,4-ِDihydropyrano[c]chromene derivatives were synthesized using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) as a highly efficient heterogenous solid acid catalyst via one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes with malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin in excellent yields.

sulfonic acid functionalized sba-15 as a nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the synthesis of 2-aryl benzoxazoles 4 by the condensation of 2-aminophenol 1 and benzoyl chlorides 2 under microwave irradiation in solvent free reaction conditions. the advantages of this methodology are good product yields (60-98%), being environmentally benign, short reaction times and easy work up.

A Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica (PMO) functionalized with sulfonic acid groups has been successfully synthesized via a sequence of post-synthetic modification steps of a trans-ethenylene bridged PMO material. The double bond is functionalized via a bromination and subsequent substitution obtaining a thiol functionality. This is followed by an oxidation towards a sulfonic acid group. After fu...
