Various types of aldehydes undergo crossed-Aldol condensation with ketones in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) under solvent-free conditions. The reported method is mild, efficient and has the advantages such as using heterogeneous catalysis, short reaction times, high yields of the products and the recyclability of the catalyst.

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.

To minimize the maintenance frequency as well environmental impact caused by growing number of railway materials reaching end their lives, appropriate sustainable management is inevitable prior to either turning them into wastes or leaving in landfill sites. This paper presents recent developments Fibre-reinforced Foamed Urethane (FFU) sleepers installed turnouts. It determines recycling and re...

Encapsulation of photovoltaic cells was carried out using a transparent glass fiber reinforced composite with enhanced chemical recyclability based on matrix an epoxy resin containing cleavable functional groups. The current-voltage curves showed decrease 6.3% the short-circuit current (Isc) after encapsulation cell, lower than one observed for reference non-recyclable standard composite. Its p...

Sulfuric acid functionalized magnetic nanocatalyst (SAMNC) has been prepared as an efficientacidic and applied in the one-pot preparation of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4 (1H) -one derivatives.This catalyst has been characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and VSM. According to the obtainedresults, including time, yield and recyclability, SAMNC could be considered as an efficient catalystfor organic transformati...

In this work, a green, simple and highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes is described. The condensation of indoles with carbonyl compounds catalyzed by citric acid in water affords bis(indolyl)methanes in high yields and relatively short reaction times. The advantages of this method are using of water as a low cost solvent and efficient recyclability of the catalyst.

A facile synthesis of dispirooxindolopyrrolidines has been accomplished via a one-pot three component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The reaction of azomethine ylides generated in situ from L-phenylalanine and substituted isatins with a series of unusual (E)-2-oxoindolino-3-ylidene acetophenone dipolarophiles in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [bmim]BF4, furnished the ...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) oil remains under-utilised albeit one of the major seed oils produced world-wide. Moreover, the high oleic sunflower varieties make the oil attractive for applications requiring high temperature processes and those targeting the C=C double bond functionality. Herein an overview of the recent developments in olefin metathesis of sunflower-based feedstocks is pres...

This paper provides a framework for defining an efficient remanufacturing procedure of a generic durable good at the end of its useful life. For many materials, the recycling technology (material recovery) is broadly available. However, the design of most products does not favor the recovery of the value-added in the good. Products designed for optimal marketing and ease of manufacturing are no...
