The present investigation deals with synthesis of new acid dyes from 4-amino-1-(4-sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and phenol derivatives and their metal complexes (Cu (II) and Fe (II)). The phenol derivatives include 4-chlorophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 4-hydroxybenzene sulfonic acid, 2-nitrophenol-4-sulfonic acid, resorcinol and bisphenol A and bisphenol S. The newly synthesized dyes were applied...

one-pot multicomponent reaction between isatin, barbituric acid, and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of spirooxindole dipyrimidines. spirooxindole unit is found in many natural products and biologically active molecules and 1,4-dihydropyridines are an important class of com...

A systematic study of acid organocatalysts for the polyaddition of poly(ethylene glycol) to hexamethylene diisocyanate in solution has been performed. Among organic acids evaluated, sulfonic acids were found the most effective for urethane formations even when compared with conventional tin-based catalysts (dibutyltin dilaurate) or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. In comparison, phosphonic a...

Sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-Pr-SO3H) as a new nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the one-pot synthesis of polyhydroquinolines derivatives via the Hantzsch four component condensation reaction of aldehydes, b-ketoesters, dimedone and ammonium acetate under solvent free conditions with short reaction time in excellent yields. SBA-P...

Knoevenagel condensation between barbituric acid and aldehyde was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) and resulted in the formation of arylidene and bis-arylidene barbiturates. Excellent yields and short reaction times are related to the high efficiency of SBA-Pr-SO3H that the reactions take place easily in its nano-pores. SBA-Pr-SO3H as ...

Brønsted acidic ionic liquid triethylamine-bonded sulfonic acid {[Et3N-SO3H]Cl} efficiently catalyzes the one-pot multi-component condensation of 2-naphthol with arylaldehydes and dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) under solvent-free conditions to afford 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-11-ones in high yields and relatively short reaction times.

The total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of three apple ciders produced in Poland were examined. The total phenolic content was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau method and results were expressed in gallic acid equivalents with range from 0.21±0.003 to 0.30±0.004 mg/ml and Trolox equivalents ranging 0.88±0.012 to 1.24±0.015 mg/ml. The antioxidant activity was estimated by two method...

1-Methyl-3-(2-oxyethyl)-1H-Imidazol-3-ium-Borate Sulfonic Acid ([MOEI]-BSA) was easily prepared and used as a new and highly efficient solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives with high isolated yields. Various substituted benzimidazoles were synthesized by a combination of o-phenylenediamines and aldehydes in the presence of [MOEI]-BSA with excellent yields in water a...

Nonfluorinated sulfonic acid membranes are a group of promising candidate materials for the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell PEMFC technology. However, one of the main obstacles is that the harsh fuel cell environment may originate different modes of degradation and aging processes that result in either chemical or morphological alteration in these membranes. The effect o...
