Nano-rice bran/TiCl4has been prepared from rice bran and TiCl4 in n-hexane as solvent. Thennanoricebran/TiCl4 has been introduced as a novel catalystfor the three component synthesis of pyrano[3,2-b] pyransfrom the simple one-pot reactionbetweenaryl aldehydes,cyanoacetamide and kojicacid.Cleanliness, an eco-friendly catalyst, simple methodology, short time, and excellent yields ofproducts are s...

Nano-silica supported boron trifluoride (BF3.SiO2) is an efficient, reusable and eco-friendly catalyst for chemoselective thioacetalization of aldehydes and ketones. So, this catalyst was applied for transthioacetalization of acetals and acylals into their corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes or 1,3-dithianes  in good to excellent yields. The reactions were carried out at room temperature under solven...

Egg shell has been utilized as a natural, green, reusable and eco-friendly reagent for the synthesis of spiro[4H-pyran-oxindole] derivatives by one-pot multicomponent reaction of isatins, 1,3-diketones, and malononitrile/ ethyl cyanoacetate. Good functional group tolerance and broad scope of usable substrates are other prominent features of the present methodology.

A questionnaire study was conducted in order to identify relevant driver motives and assistance options for environmentally-friendly driving. Eighteen participants rated items belonging to the three factors time, environment, and consumption, and subsequently evaluated three types of driver assistance systems. Results concerning the motives showed that older drivers (above the age of 65) focuse...

The field of nanobiotechnology mainly encompasses with physics, biology, chemistry and material sciences and it develops novel therapeutic nano-scale materials for biomedical, drug delivery, cancer therapy and pharmaceutical applications. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have unique physiochemical, biological and environmental properties which make them useful in a wide range of applications, s...

in this research, we have developed cheap recyclable and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (ails) 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [hmim]hso4, 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium chloride [hmim]cl, 2-pyrrolidonium hydrogensulfate [hnhp]hso4 and applied them in acid catalyzed synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives from 1,2-phenylendiamines and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. the products coul...
