A novel magnetically immobilized polyethyleneimine (PEI) fabricated by covalently anchoring on MCM-41 (MCM-41@PEI) was prepared. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The immobilized PEI was shown to be an ef...

The reaction of 3-chloropropyl boehmite nanoparticles with caffeine and sulfuric acid afforded BNPs-3-propyl-imidazolopyridinium hydrogen sulfate [BNPs-Caff]HSO4 as a new BNPs-supported ionic liquid (IL) catalyst. [BNPs-Caff]HSO4 proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidines via a one-pot four-component reaction of...

In this study, the nano-SiO2/hexamethylenetetramine as a new basic heterogeneous nanocatalyst was prepared and used for the synthesis of pyranopyrazole via the four-component reaction. Various aldehydes, hydrazine hydrate, ethyl acetoacetate and malononitrile were reacted at room temperature under solvent-free and grinding conditions. The morphology and structure of nano-cat...

In heterogeneous liquid-liquid reaction processes, explosions have been reported. An aim of this study is to simulate the accident stories, which might be caused by inappropriate mixing conditions in the heterogeneous reaction process. The reaction of water-insoluble anhydride and water was selected as a model process. The experimental trend data of droplet size with agitation in a batch reacto...

3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones and their derivatives are synthesized via Biginelli routes involving an aromatic aldehydes, ethylacetoacetates and urea in one-pot procedure by using CdS nanoparticles as efficient heterogeneous catalyst in solvent-free conditions. Compared with classical Biginelli reaction reported in 1893, this new method provides much improved modification in terms of simplicity. The...

Microwave assisted reactions have gained considerable attention, due to versatility and reduction ofsolvent and reaction time. The reaction of a nano-coconut shell and boron tri-fluoride in diethylether solvent resulted in preparation of nano-coconut shell-BF3 as a catalyst. The nano-coconutshell-BF3 catalyst has been characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F...

A rapid and efficient one-pot, four-component protocol towards the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives has been developed. The condensation of aldehyde, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in presence of stannous chloride was carried out under solvent free condition to synthesize a variety of polyhydroquinoline derivatives in good to excellent yields. Stannous chloride was...

A green, efficient and selective approach for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones with UHP at room temperature is reported. The reaction is performed in the presence of vanadia catalyst supported on mesocellular silica foam (MCF) with a V content ranging from 2% to 10% as heterogeneous and reusable catalyst. The structural and textural characterization of this catalyst were don...
