3-methyl-1-(4-sulfobuthyl)-1-H-imidazol-3ium hydrogen sulfate, as a dual acidic ionic liquid (DAIL), was found to be an efficient catalyst for the simple, rapid and green synthesis of substituted trisphenols from the condensation of different substituted phenols and 2,6-bis (methylol) phenols (BMP). DAIL catalyst efficiently promoted the reaction between phenols and BMPs with a variety of funct...

Green incentives are included in the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009” (ARRA). It is, however, unclear how these government incentives can be carried out most effectively according to market-based principles and if they can serve as a catalyst for an accelerated green transformation and an ultimate solution to the current U.S. and global economic and financial crisis. The article...

In this paper, a novel catalyst (MgAl2O4@SiO2-PTA) was proposed for the green oxidation of aliphatic alcohols. The resultant composite was characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, FT-IR, EDX and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The prepared nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for oxidation of aliphatic alco...

An efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes from the aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) in the presence of boric acid [BO3H3 or B(OH)3] as an inexpensive and reusable catalyst is described. The salient features of this methodology are: the elimination of corrosive liquid acids, high yields, simple methodology, short reacti...

     Cellulose was applied as a reusable and green catalyst for the facile four-component synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-3-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile derivatives using hydrazine monohydrate, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and aryl aldehydes, under solvent-free and thermal conditions. The use of non-toxic and inexpensive catalyst, short reaction time, clean w...

this study introduces a green and efficient method for preparation of biologically-active substituted 4h-pyrans using the one-pot three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile in the presence of cobalt oxide nanoparticles. co3o4 nanoparticles were used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes,...

In this article, simple, convenient synthesis of 2-aryl-1- arylmethyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole (1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles) via condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes using SBA-Pr-SO3H as a nanoporous solid acid catalyst in green protocol was reported.

Nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(Trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. Factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  This nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. The prepared sulfated titania s...

N,N-diethylethanaminium-2-(sulfooxy) ethyl sulfate was synthesized and used as  an efficient, green, and recyclable catalyst and solvent for the nitration of aromatic compounds by nitric acid at 80oC

A natural and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives in good-to-high yields, from various aryl aldehydes, amines and phenyl acethylene, using marine sponge/I2 as a green catalyst
