[ 1 ] - Synthesis of 2,4,5-triaryl-1H-imidazoles using a potent, green and reusable nano catalyst (FHS/SiO2)

A simple, green and efficient method for synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles is described via three-component cyclocondensation of benzil or benzoin, aldehyde and ammonium acetate by using the nano SiO2-supported ferric hydrogen sulfate (FHS/SiO2), as a catalyst, under solvent-free conditions. The nano SiO2 support and catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmissio...

[ 2 ] - Fe(HSO4)3/SiO2: An efficient and heterogeneous catalyst for cyclization of 2- aminochalcones to 2- aryl-2,3- dihydroquinolin- 4(1H)- ones

Silica ferric hydrogensulfate is an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclization of 2- aminochalcones to the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinolin- 4(1H)-ones. This intramolecular aza Michael reaction was carried out in high yields using chalcones bearing of electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. The catalyst is reusable without significant decreases in its activity after four t...

[ 3 ] - Synthesis of Novel Bis-Benzimidazolyl Podands: A new Chemosensor for Cu2+

Some new compounds based on bis-benzimidazole moieties have been synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopies. The ability of 3a in transition metal cation sensing such as Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ have been investigated by Uv-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in methanol solvent. The complexation constants and complex stoichiometry of Cu2+ have been determined. The ex...

[ 4 ] - Fe(HSO4)3-Catalyzed Direct Conversion of Aldehydes into Nitriles Using Hydroxylamine Hydrochloride

Due to the importance and various applications of nitriles especially in medicinal productions, a new method for conversion of aldehydes to nitriles has been presented. Several nitrile-containing aromatic compounds were synthesized through the treatment of various aldehydes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride as nucleophile in the presence of ferric hydrogen sulfate as a heterogeneous, efficient, a...

[ 5 ] - Basic Task-specific Ionic Liquid as Catalyst and Reaction Medium: A Green Protocol for the Synthesis of 4-Oxo-6-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4- tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile Derivatives

Abstract A novel basic ionic liquid based on imidazolium cation is designed, synthesized and successfully used as a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 4-Oxo-6-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives. The remarkable features of this new catalyst are its ethyleneoxy bridge which participates in dissolving organic compound in the ionic liquid and its strong base co...

Cobalt hydrogensulfate is an efficient catalyst for the condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione at 120 °C to afford 9,9-dimethyl-12-phenyl-8,10,11,12-tetrahydro-9-H-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives in high yields. Also, polycondensation reactions of phenols with phthalic anhydride were carried out in the presence of cobalt hydrogensu...

[ 7 ] - Isomerism and Hydrogen Bonding in the Cis-enol Forms of 1-(n-pyridyl)butane-1,3-diones: A Theoretical Study

Molecular structure, isomerism, conformational stability and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) of cis-enol forms of 1-(n-pyridyl)butane-1,3-diones (nPBD) (n = 2, 3, or 4) have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Energy differences for all possible nPBD cis-enol forms of isomers with respect to the most stable form of the correspondin...

[ 8 ] - Design and Synthesis of A Novel Bis-Benzimidazolyl Podand As a Responsive Chemosensors for Anions

A novel podand based anion receptor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites was designed and synthesized by reaction of 1,7-bis(2'-methylbenzoate)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and phenylenediamine. The binding properties of anionic guest with this receptor were studied using UV-Vis and ﬂuorescence spectroscopy. These studies revealed that this receptor exhibit selective recognition towar...
