[ 1 ] - Green synthesis of magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles using tragacanth gum as a biotemplate and their catalytic activity for the oxidation of alcohols

During this study, we report the green synthesis of  magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles using tragacanth gum as a reducing and stabilizing agent by the sol-gel method. The green synthesized CuFe2O4 MNPs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy...

[ 2 ] - Citric acid as an efficient and green catalyst for the synthesis of hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (HBIW)

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...

[ 3 ] - Magnetic ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds in the presence of oxone as an oxidant

Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via the auto-combustion assisted sol-gel method of Zn2+ and Fe3+ ions (molar ratio 1:2) in ammonia solution. The prepared nanomagnetic catalyst was characterized by IR, XRD, SEM and ICP. The diameter of the ZnFe2O4 MNPs (63.7 nm) was determined by Debye-Scherre equation via their XRD pattern. Nanomagnetic ZnFe2O4 efficiently catalyzes oxidat...

[ 4 ] - Synthesis, spectroscopic (NMR and FT-IR) and theoretical (HF and DFT) investigation of dimethyl (Z)-2-[(2-methyl-5-oxo-1-cyclopentyl)oxy]-2-butendioate

Dimethyl (z)-2-[(2-methyl-5-oxo-1-cyclopentyl)oxy]-2-butenedioate has been synthesized using one-pot three component reaction between N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane (Ph3PNNC), 3-methylcyclopentene-1,2-dione and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Also, optimized geometry and nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) of the title compound are evaluated using HF and B3LYP methods and 6-311+G(d) basis s...

A green and convenient protocol is described for the preparation of 1-(alkylamino)-3-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-2-methyl-1-oxopropan-2-yl benzoates via one-pot three-component reaction between 2-(2-oxopropyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione, an alkyl isocyanide and an aromatic carboxylic acid in water at room temperature. The methods used to follow the reactions are TLC and NMR, which indicated that there...

The synthesis of aryl amides via the reactions of carboxylic acids and isocyanides in methanol was carried out in 78-95% yields under ultrasound irradiation. The method has wide applicability, and the protocol is mild, fast and efficient compared to the existing methods based on silent conditions.

[ 7 ] - سنتز و بررسی خواص ساختاری و اپتیکی CdO با ابعاد زیر میکرون آلائیده شده توسط Ce4+ به روش سل ژل

ساختارهای زیر میکرون کادمیم اکسید آلائیده شده با Ce4+ با بلورینگی بالا توسط کلسینه کردن پیش ماده بدست آمده از فرایند سل ژل سنتز شدند. این واکنش با استفاده از واکنشگرهای کادمیم نیترات، سریم نیترات و اتیلن گلیکول بدون هیچ افزودنی در دمای 180 درجه سانتی گراد به مدت 2 ساعت انجام شد. ژل حاصله در دمای 900 درجه سانتی گراد با سرعت 15 درجه سانتی گراد در دقیقه افزایش حرارت به مدت 12 ساعت کلسینه شد. در نت...

[ 8 ] - Synthesis of electron-poor N-Vinylimidazole derivatives catalyzed by Silica nanoparticles under solvent-free conditions

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediates, produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and acetylenic esters, by NH-acids such as azathioprine, imidazole or theophylline leads to the formation of vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which undergo a Michael addition reaction with a conjugate base to produce phosphorus ylides. Silica nanoparticles (silica NPs were prepared by therm...
