14-aryl- and 14-alkyl-14-h-dibenzo [a,j]xanthenes are prepared from the reaction of aromatic- and aliphaticaldehydes with β-naphthol in the presence of catalytic amounts of 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(dbsa) as asurfactant-type brønsted acid catalyst in toluene and under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields and shortreaction times. the catalyst was recovered and reused for five successi...

one-pot preparation of 2,4,5-trisubstituted and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles has been conducted in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridinium butane sulfonic acid) hydrogen sulfate, p(4vpbsa)hso4, as an efficient dual acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. reusability of the catalyst, easy work-up procedure, eco-friendly reaction conditions, short reaction times and high yields of th...

The utilization of a monomer-on-monomer (MoM) intramolecular Mitsunobu cyclization reaction employing norbornenyl-tagged (Nb-tagged) reagents is reported for the synthesis of benzofused thiadiazepine-dioxides. Facile purification was achieved via ring-opening metathesis (ROM) polymerization initiated by one of three metathesis catalyst methods: (i) free metathesis catalyst, (ii) surface-initiat...

A new microporous metal-organic framework compound featuring chiral (salen)Mn struts is highly effective as an asymmetric catalyst for olefin epoxidation, yielding enantiomeric excesses that rival those of the free molecular analogue. Framework confinement of the manganese salen entity enhances catalyst stability, imparts substrate size selectivity, and permits catalyst separation and reuse.

The regiodivergent palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine has been achieved, wherein the switch in regioselectivity between positions C3 and C7 is under complete catalyst control. A phosphine-containing palladium catalyst promotes the direct arylation at the most acidic position (C7), whereas a phosphine-free catalyst targets the most electron-rich position (C3).

an efficient synthesis route to 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives from reaction of divergent aldehydes with ethylacetoacetate and urea under solvent-free conditions by zno nanoparticles as a relative in expansive, eco-friendly, easy available, non-volatile, non-explosion, thermally robust, recyclable and easy to handle catalyst at 90°c with excellent yields is described. unenhanced reaction tim...

This article describe the applicability of 1,4-disulfopiperazine-1,4-diium chloride ([Piper-(SO3H)2].2Cl) as a green, versatile and Brönsted acidic ionic catalyst in the promotion of the synthesis of phthalazine derivatives via one-pot three component reaction between aromatic aldehydes, 1,3-diketone derivatives and phthalhydrazide under solvent-free reaction cond...

Oxalic acid dihydrate as a green, mild and efficient catalyst for the one-pot three-component Biginelli synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one derivatives from the reaction between β-keto esters (methyl or ethyl acetoacetate), aromatic aldehyde (benzaldehye derivatives) and urea or thiourea under thermal and solvent-free conditions with excellent yields and short reaction time is st...

The catalyst-assisted nucleation and growth mechanisms for many kinds of nanowires and nanotubes are pretty well understood. At times, though, 1D nanostructures form without a catalyst and the argued growth modes have inconsistencies. One such example is the catalyst-free growth of aluminium borate nanowires. Here we develop an in-situ catalyst-free room temperature growth route for aluminium n...
