N-Arylated aliphatic and aromatic amines are important substituents in many biologically active compounds. In the last few years, transition-metal-mediated N-aryl bond formation has become a standard procedure for the introduction of amines into aromatic systems. While N-arylation of simple aromatic halides by simple amines works with many of the described methods in high yield, the reactions m...

As the broadband connectivity to the Internet becomes common, Web based e-learning and distance learning have come to play the central roles for self-learning, where learners are given much flexibility in choosing place and time to study. However, the learners still have to spend a lot of time before reaching the learning goal. This discourages the learners from continuing their studies and dim...

Poly(4-vinylpyridine)-supported copper iodide nanoparticles is reported as a new, green and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of aryl-14H-dibenzo [a-o] xanthenes under solvent-free conditions. This catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and recycled up to 8 consecutive runs without any loss of their efficiency.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction of aromatic amines, aromatic aldehydes and β-keto esters in MeOH at room temperature. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are good yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need to column chromatography and an easy wo...

An efficient synthesis of 2H-thiopyran derivatives via three-component reaction of alkyl propiolate, benzoyl isothiocyanate or its derivatives and alkyl bromides in the presence of triphenylphosphine in water at 80o C without using any catalyst in water is described. The method offers several advantages including high yields of products and an easy work-up procedure.

Mild and applicable synthesis of mono-, bis-, and spiro- perimidines is demonstrated in high yields via the condensation of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene and aldehydes or ketones in the presence of sulfamic acid as a green and highly efficient catalyst. This environmentally benign and clean synthetic pathway offers several advantages, such as high yields, short reaction times and easy work-up procedure.

D-tartaric acid is successfully used as a green and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under solvent-free conditions. The developed method has many advantages, including devoid of harmful catalyst and solvents, high yield and easily work-up.

Monodisperse copper-iron-sulfide (CuFeS2) nanoparticles as the infrared light absorbing material (chalcopyrite, 0.65 eV), were synthesized based on facile, one step heating up method, by dissolving of CuCl, FeCl3 and SC(NH2)2 as precursors in oleylamine (OLA) alone or in combination with oleic acid (OA) and 1-octadecene (ODE) as solvent. The phase, size, morphology, and size distribution were c...
