< p>Mg-Fe bi-metal oxide was prepared and utilized as a magnetized renewable solid base catalyst for formation of 2-aminothiophenes by means of Gewald’s reaction. The prepared heterogeneous basic solid catalyst can be separated by a magnet and reused without considerable wastage in this activity. The structure of the aforementioned magnetized basic nano-catalyst was studied by XRD (X-ray diffra...

A simple procedure afforded novel spiroacenaphthylene derivatives in high yields at room temperature from acenaphthenequinone, malononitrile, and phenol derivatives using amino-functionalized silica (SBA-Pr-NH2) as a heterogeneous efficient solid base catalyst. Using SBA-Pr-NH2 in the current procedure presents several advantages, such as a simpler procedure, shorter reaction times, facile synt...

Palladium nanoparticles have been electrochemically supported on zirconium oxide nanostructured powders and all the nanomaterials have been characterized by several analytical techniques. The Pd/ZrO(2) nanocatalyst is demonstrated to be a very efficient catalyst in Heck, Ullmann, and Suzuki reactions of aryl halides in water. The catalyst efficiency is attributed to the stabilization of Pd nano...

Well-dispersed palladium (0) nanoparticles stabilized with phosphonium based ionic liquid were synthesized conveniently and fully characterized. A catalyst system comprising of the Pd(0) nanoparticles and a base was found to be recyclable and efficient for the aminocarbonylation reaction of aryl iodide in ionic liquid media. In the presence of potassium tert-butyloxide, for the relatively stabl...

A novel MCM-41-supported base catalyst, Ba-MCM-41, was synthesized with a modified impregnation method. Ba2SiO4 was synthesized on the MCM-41 pore wall as confirmed by characterization using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, N2 adsorption, Si MAS NMR and transmission electron microscopy. It was also demonstrated that a highly ordered Ba-MCM-41 catalyst wit...

A novel and efficient palladium-based homogeneous catalyst was fabricated and used as a robust catalyst in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and Heck reactions. 2-Amino-N(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)benzamide was introduced as a versatile ligand for palladiumcatalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The desired active and stable homogeneous Pd catalyst was prepared via the coordination of Pd with 2-amino-N-(pyrid...

There is significant interest in broadening the type of catalyst substrates that support the growth of high-quality carbon nanotube (CNT) carpets. In this study, ion beam bombardment has been utilized to modify catalyst substrates for CNT carpet growth. Using a combination of contact angle measurements (CAMs) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) for the first time, new correlations between the physicoc...

3,5-disubstituted-2,6-dicyanoaniline derivatives have been synthesized via the reaction of aryl methylene- and 1-arylethylidenemalonodinitriles using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (dbu) as a  novel and highly efficient catalyst under conventional as well as microwave conditions. use of non-hazardous, inexpensive and readily available base catalyst, convenient procedure, short reaction tim...

Abstract: Aryl halides and aryl triflates (triflate = trifluoromethanesulfonyl) are coupled with N-compounds to give the corresponding arylamines or arylhydrazines in the presence of a palladium catalyst, a suitable ligand, and a base. Catalyst systems consisting of palladium (II) and BINAP or triphenylphosphine are generally effective for the amination of a wide range of aryl halides and aryl ...
