A convenient one-pot Mannich-type-cyclization-oxidation tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles derivatives from aldehydes, hydrazines and alkynes using p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA) as a multifunctional catalyst. This method provides a flexible and rapid route to 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

oxidation of some benzoins to benziles is reported by using p-toluenesulfonic acid as aselective oxidation catalyst under solvent-free condition in high yield. the adjacent carbonylgroup is necessary for the oxidation of hydroxyl group in these compounds. the reaction iscarried out in a sand-bath at 100 °c with minimum by-products.

Sludge palm oil (SPO) is an attractive feedstock and a significant raw material for biodiesel production. The use of SPO can lower the cost of biodiesel production significantly. In this study biodiesel fuel was produced from SPO by esterification process using P-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) as acid catalyst in different dosages in presence of methanol to convert free fatty acid (FFA) to fatty a...

Layered double hydroxide represents a class of materials for selective adsorption and catalysis. In the present work, anionic p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) was successfully incorporated into interlayer domain Mg-Al layered (LDH), synthesized by co-precipitation route. Materials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman magic angle nuclear ...

Abstract A series of aryl sulfonic acids were tested as catalysts for acid hydrolysis occurring at the surface poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) particles. Specifically, p‐toluenesulfonic monohydrate (PTSA), 2‐naphthalenesulfonic (2‐NSA), and 1,5‐naphthalenedisulfonic tetrahydrate (1,5‐NDSA) chosen to provide active groups varying hydrophobic functionality. The effect catalyst concentration re...

A series of different 1-monosubstituted and 1,1-disubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolines was synthesized in high yields from different ketoamides. We have developed a convenient method for the synthesis of disubstituted derivatives by interaction of ketoamides with organomagnesium compounds, followed by cyclization in the presence of catalytic amounts of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). A n...

Biolubricant base oils, 9,12-hydroxy-10,13-oleioxy-12-octadecanoic acid (HYOOA) was synthesized based on the esterification reaction of Monoepoxide linoleic acid 9(12)-10(13)-monoepoxy 12(9)-octadecanoic acid (MEOA) with oleic acid (OA) and catalyzed by p-Toluenesulfonic acid.

We describe an efficient one-pot regio- and stereoselective method for synthesizing diverse 1-hydroxy-12H-6,12-methanodibenzo[d,g][1,3]dioxocines and 3-hydroxy-12H-6,12-methanodibenzo[d,g][1,3]dioxocines using ethylenediammonium diacetate (EDDA) or p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) catalyzed reactions between various resorcinols and a number of 2-hydroxychalcones. These reactions involve a catalyst...

Abstract Synthetic chemists have learned to mimic nature in using hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions dictate the spatial arrangement of reaction substrates stabilize transition states enable highly efficient selective reactions. The activation a catalyst molecule itself by hydrogen‐bonding networks, order enhance its catalytic activity achieve desired outcome, is less explored organic s...

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was used as solvent to synthesize oleyl oleate as an analog of Jojoba oil from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol with high conversion (100%) of the acid into ester in a short time of 100 min. Utilizing a low cost solid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA), the esterification reaction was performed, without any prior preparation step...
