The facile and high yield synthesis of a new series of dibenzophenones in the presence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) together with their cyclization to corresponding moni and dixanthones are described. The aromatic nucleophilic substitution of these new compounds are also studied.

a one-pot synthesis of (s)-(-)-propranolol is reported. zn(no3)2/(+)-tartaric acid catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of (s)-(-)-propranolol via kinetic resolution of key intermediate ?-naphthyl glycidyl ether with high optical and chemical yield.

A facile and efficient one-pot, multicomponent synthesis of 4H-chromenes is reported, through the reaction of arylglyoxalmonohydrates with 1,3-diketones and malononitrile in eTEMPthanol in the presence of L-proline as a catalyst.

in this investigation, nano silica chloride (nano sio2cl) has been found to be efficient, chemoselective and recyclable catalyst for facile and simple synthesis of germinal diacetates from aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes in shorter reaction durations. the products were obtained in high to excellent yields. this work consistently has the advantages of excellent yields, short reaction time,...
