Abstract:

In this study, novel CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was simply synthesized by impregnation of g-C3N4 with CuO nanoparticles. Then, the heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by various techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, the Friedel–Crafts 3-indolylation reaction of isatin with indole derivatives in water as a green solvent was investigated using catalytic amount of CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite. The results showed that di-indolyloxindole derivatives are synthesized in good to excellent yields at mild conditions. Finally, this method has some advantages including the use of water as a green solvent, short reaction time, room temperature, easy work up and excellent yields. Keyword: CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite; di-indolyloxindols; indole; isatin.

Pd-catalyzed synthesis of Ar-SCF3 compounds under mild conditions.

The unique chemical properties of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides (ArSCF3) have been known for over 60 years.[1] The capacity of SCF3 to act as a lipophilic electron-withdrawing group has resulted in the incorporation of ArSCF3 components into a number of pharmaceutical and agrochemical agents.[2] Unfortunately, direct access to this important class of compounds is complicated by a lack of effici...

Facile and mild synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles catalyzed by methanesulfonic acid under solvent-free conditions

Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles. A series of 1-substituted tetrazole compounds were synthesized from the reaction of various primary amines, sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of catalytic amounts of MSA at room temperature. In this protocol, some of the tetrazole derivatives were synth...
