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...

the solvent free route for the synthesis of diaryl sulfoxides from arenes and thionyl chloride in the presence of lewis acids such as aluminum chloride and ferric chloride on silica gel are described.

objective: dendrimers are three-dimensional nanostructures that have numerous applications in medicine, including drug delivery and imaging. although anionic dendrimer polyethylene glycol–citrate has a high potential to increase solubility of water-insoluble drugs and drug delivery, its multi-step synthesis procedure is time consuming. in addition, toxic substances such as dichloromethane are u...

the condensation of benzylamine with glyoxal leads to hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (hbiw) in acetonitrile solvent with citric acid as a green catalyst under both conventional stirring and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. the influence of four variables, including the amount of catalyst, solvent, reaction time and ultrasonic power, on the reaction yield was investigated. the results showed t...

background silver has been used from ancient times by humans, and recently nanoparticles of silver have been used in many aspects of human life including as a potent antibacterial agent. objectives in the current study a completely green method to prepare silver nanoparticles is reported. two types of starches (potato and corn starches) were used to produce and stabilize silver nanoparticles. a...

in the chemical industry, process intensification is needed to meet important goals such as sustainable and eco-friendly processes. for esterification reaction the “produce more with less pollution” objective can be achieved by coupling reaction and separation in a so called integrated process. in this work a model for describing the esterification reaction of ethyl acetate in pervaporation mem...
