a mild and efficient one-pot three-component and environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of a wide range of hydantoin annulated derivatives has been described. a multi-component reaction between a carbonyl compounds (ketone or aldehyde), potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate (as cyanating agent and amine source, respectively leads to the formation of hydantoins. the proposed optimi...

a mild, efficient and fast method for the oxidation of alcohols and trimethylsilyl and tetrahydropyranyl ethers to their corresponding carbonyl compounds using cro3 in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized ordered nanoporous na+-montmorillonite (sanm) and under solvent-free conditions is reported. all reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. ease of the p...

one of the most important goals in medicinal chemistry is the development of new techniques and new heterocyclic compounds with pharmaceutical activity. the present study aimed to use a method for the synthesis of some 1,2-dihydro-1-arylnaphtho [1,2-e] [1,3] oxazine-3-ones. the question this study tried to answer was this reaction can be performed in present of nano-fe2o3 as an acid catalyst an...

in this study, cui nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst was used for the synthesis of 14-phenyl-8h-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13(14h)-diones using aldehydes, 2-naphthol and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione in aqueous media. in this study, it was found that water was the most effective solvent compared to others. among several catalysts that were tested for this multi-component synthesis, cui nanopa...

background: polysaccharides have long been used as immune-modulators in various pathologic conditions including inflammation and solid malignancies. objective: to evaluate the effects of zymosan and betaglucan on cytotoxic reactions in an effectortarget conjugate system. methods: blood was obtained from 20 healthy subjects; purified mononuclear leukocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) were extrac...

Catalytic and photocatalytic reactions of (2-chloroethyl) phenyl sulfide (2-CEPS), a mimic of bis (2-chloroethyl)  sulfide (i.e. Sulfur mustard) were studied on the surfaces of titanium oxide. TiO2 nanoparticles (anatase, rutile and mixture of 80% anatase/20% rutile) along with bulk TiO2 were tested as reactive sorbents for reaction of 2-CEPS at room temperature (25±0.5°C). Reactions were monit...
