This study aims to examine the operating pressure effect on manufacture of biodiesel from Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate (PKFAD) by using para-Toluene Sulfonic (PTSA) catalyst. The pressures studied are vacuum 70 kPa, 80 90 and 100 which varied with PTSA concentrations 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, molar ratios methanol PKFAD 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1. Biodiesel production is carried out react...

A simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines C=N bond. Deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚C. The salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...

Oxidation of some benzoins to benziles is reported by using p-toluenesulfonic acid as aselective oxidation catalyst under solvent-free condition in high yield. The adjacent carbonylgroup is necessary for the oxidation of hydroxyl group in these compounds. The reaction iscarried out in a sand-bath at 100 °C with minimum by-products.

A new procedure for analyses for tryptophan in proteins and glycoproteins is described. The method utilizes ptoluenesulfonic acid as the catalyst for hydrolysis and the amino acid analyzer for the quantitative estimation of tryptophan. The hydrolysis of proteins is carried out in 3 N p-toluenesulfonic acid containing 0.2 % 3-(Z-aminoethyl)indole in evacuated sealed tubes at 110” for 22, 48, and...

Boc protection group could be readily removed in a very mild mechanochemical conditions. In a short reaction time, ball milling of Boc-protected amines with p-toluenesulfonic acid in solvent-free conditions affords corresponding amine p-TsOH salts.

microwave-assisted three component cyclocondensation reactions of aldehydes, amides and dienophiles in the presence of acetic anhydride and para-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst to afford the highly substituted cyclohexene derivatives, in relatively good yields after several minutes are reported.

Four novel organic salts of piperazine and 2-methylpiperazine with p-toluenesulfonic acid and chloroacetic acid have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The hydrogen-bonding ring synthons that exist between the cation/anion pairs are compared and contrasted alongside database results.

The solid–solid reactions of electron-donor compounds, such as: barbituric acid (1a), thiobarbituric acid (1b), 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid (1c), phenol (1d) and resorcinol (1e) with diazotized o-nitroaniline (3), m-nitroaniline (4) and p-nitroaniline (5) catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (2) afford azo dyes by grinding in good yields. This new method totally avoids the use of inorganic acid...
