a highly efficient and simple method for the preparation of α,α´-bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions has been developed. the crossed-aldol condensation of cycloalkanones (1 eq.) with arylaldehydes (2 eq.) in the presence of 2.5 mol% of ionic liquid 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium hydrogen sulfate {[dsim]hso4} afforded the title compounds in high yields and short reaction ...

‎a ring $r$ is strongly clean provided that every element‎ ‎in $r$ is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate‎. ‎let‎ ‎$t_n(r,sigma)$ be the skew triangular matrix ring over a local‎ ‎ring $r$ where $sigma$ is an endomorphism of $r$‎. ‎we show that‎ ‎$t_2(r,sigma)$ is strongly clean if and only if for any $ain‎ ‎1+j(r)‎, ‎bin j(r)$‎, ‎$l_a-r_{sigma(b)}‎: ‎rto r$ is surjective‎. ‎furt...

clean hydrogen is the major energy carrier for power production. the conversion of co to co2 and zero emission during hydrogen energy production causes high capital cost. it is a matter of prestige to optimize the process in order to make zero emission and cost effective production of clean hydrogen energy and electric power. in this era, coal gasification is the most promising technology for t...
