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...

A green and highly effective solvent-free protocol has been reported for the synthesis of N,N′-alkylidene bisamides via the reaction of arylaldehydes (1 eq.) with primary amides (2 eq.) in the presence of saccharin-N-sulfonic acid (SaSA) as a solid-acid catalyst. The mentioned compounds have been obtained in high yields and short reaction times.

Mesoporous vanadium nitride (VN) with high surface area and good electrical conductivity was prepared by a solid-solid phase separation method from a Zn containing vanadium oxide, Zn(3)V(2)O(8). The VN supported Pd catalyst exhibited significant catalytic activity for formic acid oxidation.

Unique spindle-shaped nanoporous anatase TiO(2) mesocrystals with a single-crystal-like structure and tunable sizes were successfully fabricated on a large scale through mesoscale assembly in the tetrabutyl titanate-acetic acid system without any additives under solvothermal conditions. A complex mesoscale assembly process involving slow release of soluble species from metastable solid precurso...

A convenient and efficient methodology for the synthesis of densely substituted pyrrole-fused isocoumarins, which employs solid-supported silica sulfuric acid (SSA) as catalyst, has been developed. When the mixture of ninhydrin adducts of acetylacetone/ethyl acetoacetate and primary amines was heated on the solid surface of SSA under solvent-free conditions, the pyrrole-fused isocoumarins were ...

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2 ) has been used for the first time as a reaction medium for the dehydration of glycerol to acrolein catalyzed by a solid acid. Unprecedented catalyst stability over 528 hours of time-on-stream was achieved and the rate of coke deposition on the zeolite catalyst was the lowest among extensive previous studies, showing potential for industrial application. Cok...

Renewable production of p-xylene from [4 + 2] Diels− Alder cycloaddition of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and ethylene with H−Y zeolite catalyst in n-heptane solvent is investigated. Experimental studies varying the solid acid catalyst concentration reveal two kinetic regimes for the p-xylene production rate: (i) a linear regime at low acid site concentrations with activation energy Ea = 10.8 kcal/mo...

in this research, so3h-functionalizedphthalimide (sfp) has been prepared through simple reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized using ft-ir, 1h nmr, 13c nmr, sem (scanning electron microscopy), mass and tg (thermal gravimetric) spectra. afterward, the solid acid has been utilized as an efficient, green, heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst for the solvent-free synth...
