BACKGROUND Marine sponge/nano-CuO as a natural catalyst efficiently catalyzed the Sulfonylation reaction of p-chlorobenzene sulfonyl chlorides with amines in order to prepare sulfonamides. The advantages included use of a natural catalyst, ease of handling, requirement of a very small amount of catalyst, mild reaction condition and appropriateness to high yield. OBJECTIVES The current study a...

silica sulfuric acid is employed as solid acid catalyst for the clean and less hazardousprotection of carbonyl compounds as 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone under solvent-free conditions.

< 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...

In this study, a solid acid was prepared by the sulfonation of surface modified α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) single-layer nanosheets (SO3H@ZrP), and the prepared solid acid was investigated for the esterification of oleic acid with methanol to produce biodiesel. For comparison, liquid H2SO4 and commercial Amberlyst® 15 catalyst were also evaluated for the same reaction under the same conditions....

ABSTRACT The functionalization of silica-coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2) using chlorosulfonic acid were afforded sulfonic acid-functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-SO3H) that can be applied as an organic-inorganic hybrid heterogeneous catalyst. The used Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles are 18-30 nm sized that was rapidly functionalized and can be used as catalyst...

A novel generic method of silica supported catalyst system generation from a fluid state is presented. The technique is based on the combined flow and radiation (such as microwave, thermal or UV) induced co-assembly of the support and catalyst precursors forming nano-reactors, followed by catalyst precursor decomposition. The transformation from the precursor to supported catalyst oxide state c...

Rhodamine B (RhB) is a water-soluble fluorescent dye that is often used to determine flux and flow direction in biotechnological and environmental applications. In the current research, RhB in soluble (termed free) and virus-bound (termed nano-bound) forms was used as an efficiency indicator for three environmental processes. The degradation of free and nano-bound RhB by (i) direct UV photolysi...

sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl]ester (saspspe) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. a good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of saspspe at room temperature with short rea...

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.
