Abstract:

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 that the optimum parameters for synthesis of HBIW were 5% mol with respect to glyoxal for catalyst, acetonitrile-water as solvent, 5 minutes as reaction time and 150 W for ultrasonic power. In general, improvement in rates and yields were observed when the reactions were carried out under sonication in comparison with classic conditions.

Melamine trisulfonic acid: An efficient and recyclable solid acid catalyst for the green synthesis of Biscoumarin derivatives

A novel catalytic synthesis of 3,3'-(arylmethylene)-bis-(4-hydroxy-2H-chromene-2-one) derivatives from a tandem condensation reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. The reaction occurs in water in the presence of Melamine trisulfonic acid as catalyst to give the corresponding products in good to high yields. This green approach has several advantages such as sho...
