Reusable silica supported perchloric acid and potassium bisulphate have been prepared and explored as green catalysts for thiocyanation of aromatic compounds under conventional and solvent free microwave assisted conditions. The microwave assisted protocol exhibited remarkable rate accelerations and offered selective thiocyanation of aromatic and hetero aromatic compounds in good yields. Reacti...

The extraction of essential oils from Lemongrass leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L.) has become more promising than ever before due to the oils' increasing demand in market addition dynamic breakthrough its technology advancement. This study presents a comparison two different methods microwave-assisted oil extraction, namely Microwave Hydrodistillation (MHD) and Solvent-Free Extraction (SFME), both ...

Alkaline water was used for the microwave-assisted extraction of some priority pollutants of phenols in sediments, i.e. phenol (Ph), 2-chlorophenol (2CP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4DCP), 4-chlorophenol (4CP), 4-dinitrophenol (4NP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP). This organic solvent-free extraction procedure was optimized by studying the parameters such as pH, volume of the alkaline water, extraction...

A irradiação de chalconas com microondas na ausência de solvente se mostrou um procedimento de “química verde” para a preparação, em bons rendimentos, de flavanonas. Diferentes catalisadores heterogêneos e catalisadores convencionais foram testados usando-se um forno de microondas doméstico. A irradiação de chalconas com 30% de ácido trifluoroacético, na presença de gel de sílica, levou a forma...

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation (HD), steam distillation (SD) and solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) from the stems and flowers of Tanacetum tenuisectum (Boiss.) Podl., which is endemic to Iran,were analyzed by GC and GC/MS.Camphor (26.9 %, 27.2% and 25.5%), borneol (12.6%, 11.5% and 7.6%) and 1, 8-cineole (7.9%, 13.2% and 11.3%) were the main constituents of the HD, SD a...
