sulfuric acid {[3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl}ester (saspspe) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of α-amino nitriles. these syntheses were performed via a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild reaction conditions at room temperature. the catalyst could be recycled and reused several times without any loss of effi...

molybdate sulfuric acid (msa) has been prepared and used as catalyst for the biginelli synthesis of some quinazolinones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. the catalyst loading is low and it shows recyclability. this method has advantages such as avoidance of the organic solvents, high yield of pure products, short reaction times and operational simplicity.

sulphuric acid adsorbed on silica gel is a practical and useful catalyst for acetylation of varius alcohols, phenols and amines.

A new impregnated iridium on magnetite catalyst has been prepared, characterized, used and recycled, up to ten times with practically the same activity, for the first practical cross-alkylation of primary alcohols. The catalyst showed a wide reaction scope, is easy to prepare and handle, and it could be removed from the reaction medium just by magnetic sequestering.

Biodiesel and lactic acid from rapeseed oil was produced using sodium silicate as catalyst. The transesterification in the presence of the catalyst proceeded with a maximum yield of 99.6% under optimized conditions [3% (w/w) sodium silicate, methanol/oil molar ratio 9/1, reaction time 60 min, reaction temperature 60°C, and stirring rate 250 rpm]. After six consecutive transesterification reacti...

In this work, various 3-cyano-4-aryl-4H-pyran derivatives were prepared efficiently through a one-pot,multicomponent synthesis between aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile and acetophenone derivativesor ethyl acetoacetate using Fe3O4/EDTA magnetic nanocatalyst and ethanol as solvent. The reactionswere completed at room temperature in 10 min using 5 mg of catalyst and 2 mL of solvent to prepare1 mmo...
