Silica gel was found to be an excellent medium for some useful organic transformations under organic solvent-free conditions, such as (1) the Friedel-Crafts-type nitration of arenes using commercial aqueous 69% nitric acid alone at room temperature, (2) one-pot Wittig-type olefination of aldehydes with activated organic halides in the presence of tributyl- or triphenylphosphine and Hunig's base...

3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones were synthesised in high yields by one-pot three-component Biginelli condensation in the presence of room temperature ionic liquids such as 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMImBF4) or hexafluorophosphorate (BMImPF6) as catalysts under solvent-free and neutral conditions. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

silica sulfuric acid is found to catalyze efficiently the condensation of o-phenylenediamines with various linear and cyclic ketones to afford the corresponding 1,5-benzodiazepines in quantitative yields under solvent-free conditions at room temperature

Cellulose sulfuric acid is an efficient metal-free catalyst for the synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles via the condensation of 1,3-diketones and hydrazines. The reaction was carried out in Solvent-free condition at room temperature and the products were isolated in good to excellent yields. Mild reaction conditions, as well as ease of operation and workup are some advantages of the pro...

copper (ii) phthalocyanine and 2,9,16,23 tetrakis nitro copper (ii) phthalocyaninehas been synthesized respectively from phthalonitrile and 4-nitro phthalonitrile under solvent-free condition using two different catalystsovernanodimensionalzeolites. 4-nitro phthalonitrile synthesized from phthalimide in three steps. the newly prepared compounds have been characterized by ir, uv-vis, 1hnmr and m...

silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (sbpdsa) was found as an efficient solid acid for the synthesis of coumarins. coumarin derivatives were obtained via the pechmann condensation reaction of phenols and β-keto-esters at 80 oc under solvent-free conditions. also, biscoumarins were obtained via the condensation of aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin in water at reflux conditions. t...

Silica sulfuric acid is found to catalyze efficiently the condensation of o-phenylenediamines with various linear and cyclic ketones to afford the corresponding 1,5-benzodiazepines in quantitative yields under solvent-free conditions at room temperature

in this study, an efficient and green process for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones from aromatic benzaldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and urea using al-mcm-41 as heterogeneous catalyst and microreactor under solvent-free conditions has been developed. the advantages of this method are easy work-up procedure, regeneration of the catalyst, clean and neutral reaction conditions.

highly active cu (ii) complex with 1,4-dihydroxy anthraquinone as a cheap and accessable ligand could be used as a catalyst for the preparation of structurally different propargylamines from a one-pot, three-component reaction of terminal alkynes, aldehydes, and secondary amines with high yields under solvent-free conditions. the 1,4-dihydroxy anthraquinone is a very efficient cu(ii) scavenger ...
