a simple and efficient one-pot, three-component strecker reaction of protected amino acids, aromatic aldehydes, and trimethylsilyl cyanide has been developed for the synthesis of chiral α-amino nitriles. the reaction was carried out in the presence of catalytic amount of phosphotungstic acid (h3[p(w3o10)4]) as an environmentally friendly catalyst.

In general, Lewis acid catalysts are metal-based compounds that owe their reactivity to a low-lying empty orbital. However, one potential Lewis acid that has received negligible attention as a catalyst is the carbocation. We have demonstrated the potential of the carbocation as a highly powerful Lewis acid catalyst for organic reactions. The stable and easily available triphenylmethyl (trityl) ...

In this study, molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized for dibutyl phthalate as a bioactive chemical compound with antifungal activity which produced by Trichoderma Harzianum (JX1738521). The molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized via precipitation polymerization method from methacrylic acid, dibutyl phthalate and trimetylolpropantrimethacrylate as a functional monomer, templat...

The esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) with methanol is studied using Sulfonated Porous Carbon (SPC) as catalyst. In compare to the amorphous sugar catalyst and protonated Nafion, the proposed catalyst shows stability and high efficient performance in biodiesel production. The highest initial rate of oleic acid conversion is obtained at catalyst loading of 1 mmol H+ and mole ra...

The photoluminescence emission of nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide films formed in phosphoric acid is studied in order to explore their defect-based subband electronic structure. Different excitation wavelengths are used to identify most of the details of the subband states. The films are produced under different anodizing conditions to optimize their emission in the visible range. Scanning ele...

A simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly method has been developed for the synthesis of a series of tricyclic fused pyrazolopyranopyrimidines via a one-pot three-component reaction of barbituric acids, aromatic aldehydes, and 3-methyl-5-pyrazolone in the presence of SBA-Pr-SO3H. SBA-15 mesoporous silica material functionalized with propyl sulfonic acid groups was used as a heterogeneou...

To improve the understanding on CNT growth modes, the various processes, including thermal CVD, MP-CVD and ECR-CVD, have been used to deposit CNTs on nanoporous SBA-15 and Si wafer substrates with C(2)H(2) and H(2) as reaction gases. The experiments to vary process parameter of DeltaT, defined as the vector quantities of temperature at catalyst top minus it at catalyst bottom, were carried out ...
