an efficient and environmentally benign   method for the synthesis of aryl iodides have been developed by diazotization of aromatic amines with nano2 and nanosilica periodic acid (nano-spia) as a green catalyst via grinding followed by a sandmeyer iodination by ki under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. the ensuing aryl diazonium salts supported on nano-spia were sufficiently stable ...

a general synthetic route to the synthesis of imidazoles has been developed using nano sbcl5/sio2 under solvent-free conditions. the multi-component reactions of aldehydes, benzil and ammonium acetate were carried out to afford some trisubstituted imidazole derivatives. this method provides several advantages like simple work-up, environmentally benign, and shorter reaction times along with hig...

Use of Zinc Oxide Nano-photocatalyst as a Recyclable Catalyst for Removal Arsenic and Lead Ions from Polluted Water

BACKGROUND Fossil fuels' pollution and their non-renewability have motivated the search for alternative fuels. Some common example of seed oils are sunflower oil, date seed oil, soy bean oil. For instance, soy methyl and soy-based biodiesel are the main biodiesel. Biodiesel is a clean diesel fuel that can be produced through transesterification reaction. Recycled cooking oil, on the other hand,...

an efficient green route for the preparation of naphthoxazinones, applying a three-component one-pot condensation reaction of 2-naphthol, aromatic aldehyde and urea in the presence of nano silica supported ferric chloride under solvent-free conditions has been developed. the present procedure offers several advantages such as short reaction time, simple workup, recovery and reusability of the c...

the knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of bf3/nano-γ-al2o3 at room temperature in ethanol. this catalyst is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and energy-disper...

two simple protocols for the synthesis of three-component condensation reaction of an aldehyde, β-ketoester and urea or thiourea to obtain the 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones (thiones) using nano silica phosphoric acid are reported. short reaction times, high yields, reusability of catalyst and easy workup are some advantages of these protocols.
