Trimethylsilylation of alcohols and phenols were carried out under solvent-free conditions with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) using LaCoO3 perovskite. LaCoO3 as an efficient catalyst accelerated this reaction under milder condition. The advantages of this method are evident regarding, easy separation, low cost and low catalyst loading, lack of pollution, easy work-up, and selective protection of ...

Molybdate sulfuric acid (MSA) has been prepared and used as catalyst for the Biginelli synthesis of some quinazolinones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst loading is low and it shows recyclability. This method has advantages such as avoidance of the organic solvents, high yield of pure products, short reaction times and operational simplicity.

Phosphorus pentoxide used on alumina (P2O5/Al2O3) as an inexpensive, eco-friendly and non-toxic acid catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes via multi-component reactions under solvent-free conditions. The present approach offers several advantages such as short reaction times, high yields, easy purification, recovery and reusability of the catalyst.

The palladium nanoparticles were immobilized on DNA-modified multi walled carbon nanotubes as stable and powerful heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma and elemental analysis. DNA as a well-defined structure and...

A facile and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes has been developed by one-pot Knoevenagel condensation, Michael addition and cyclodehydration reaction of dimedone (active methylene carbonyl compound) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Iron (III) sulfate hydrate as a solid acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Various aromatic aldehydes were uti...

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.

The cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides (Suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new palladium catalyst (1-benzyl-3-(1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl) pyridin-1-ium palladium chloride [DBNT][PdCl4]) in poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-200) in the presence of KOH as the base. This new catalyst was synthesized and...
