the direct three component modified mannich reaction via condensation of aldehydes, 2-naphthol or 2,7-naphthalendiol and piperidine to generate betti bases has been carried out over l-proline (20 mol%) with high efficiency under solvent free conditions at 70 oc. also, the reaction of aromatic aldehyde and 4-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of l-proline (20 mol%) in the ethanol under reflux condi...

one-pot preparation of 2,4,5-trisubstituted and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles has been conducted in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridinium butane sulfonic acid) hydrogen sulfate, p(4vpbsa)hso4, as an efficient dual acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. reusability of the catalyst, easy work-up procedure, eco-friendly reaction conditions, short reaction times and high yields of th...

BACKGROUND The benzhydryl ether moiety is widely distributed in nature and constitutes a key structural motif in numerous molecules of significant biological potential and of prospective clinical uses. Solvent-free and cost-effective facile synthesis of symmetrical bis(benzhydryl)ethers is, thus, much desirable. RESULTS A simple and efficient method for the facile synthesis of symmetrical bis...
