Nano-silica-bonded 3-n-propyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride (nano-SB-[PSIM]Cl) was applied as a highly efficient, general and heterogeneous catalyst for one pot multi-component reaction of 2-naphthol, arylaldehydes, and thioacetamide leading to 1-thioamidolakyl-2-naphthols. All reactions proceeded with excellent yields in short times under solvent-free conditions. Our protocol was superi...

Among the countless examples of interspecific interactions in biology, surely non-could be more interesting than which established between host animals and their specific parasites. The members of the genus Leishmania are peculiar obligate intracellular protozoans in that they proliferate in the enzyme rich phagolysosomes, an organelle which is essential component of all defence reactions of an...

The one-pot, multi-component synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) by tandem Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of phenylhydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in the presence of silica-bonded N-propylpiperazine sulfamic acid (SBPPSA) as a recyclable solid acid catalyst was reported. SBPPSA showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

A novel series of indole and quinoline tricarboxamides were synthesized using simple and efficient one-pot pseudo-five-component reactions of 2-formylindole or 2-chloro-3-formyl quinolines, isocyanides, amines, and Meldrum’s acid as a CH-acid in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. This conversion has been achieved via the construction of new bonds including two C-C bonds, two ...

A series of monoazo disperse dyes based on naphthalimide was synthesized using N-alkylcarboxylic acid-1,8-naphthalimide as diazo component and N,N-diethylaniline derivatives as a coupling components. 4-amino-N-ethanoic (propanoic) acid-1,8-naphthalimide was synthesized from 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride by imidation and subsequent reduction reactions. These compounds were diazotized and furt...

A new homologous series of linear aliphatic polyesters, such as poly (cis-2- butenylene carboxylate)S, PBms (m is the number of methylene groups in the acid component, m=2-8 have been synthesized by direct polyesterification reactions in anisole, as solvent. FT-IR, 400 MHz H- NMR, C-NMR and elemental analysis were used to establish the structure of polyesters. Molecular weight distributi...

An  efficient  three-component  one-pot  synthesis  of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols  from  2-naphthol, aldehydes, and acetamide using nano-SnO2as catalyst is described. The reactions were carried out at 80oC under water-solvent media. The structures of the compounds were characterized by IR, 1HNMR, 13C-NMR,  and  Mass  spectra  and  by  elemental  analysis.  The  advantages  of  the  effective meth...

A catalyst-free one-pot three component methodology for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles under ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature using [Bmim]Br as a neutral reaction medium is described. A broad range of substrates including the aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were condensed with amines (aliphatic and aromatic) and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN). Using this method, all...

In this research, a series of spiro compounds was efficiently synthesized via one-pot multi component reactions of isatins, aryl amines, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and hydrazine in the presence of Zn(BDC) MOF as catalyst. The key superiority of this process is high yields, easy work-up, short reaction times, and purification of the products by the non-chromatographic system. The study of t...

Can a wide range of complex biochemical behaviour arise from repeated applications of a highly reduced class of interactions? In particular, can the range of DNA manipulations achieved by protein enzymes be simulated via simple DNA hybridization chemistry? In this work, we develop a biochemical system which we call meta-DNA (abbreviated as mDNA), based on strands of DNA as the only component mo...
