knoevenagel condensation between barbituric acid and aldehyde was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of arylidene and bis-arylidene barbiturates. excellent yields and short reaction times are related to the high efficiency of sba-pr-so3h that the reactions take place easily in its nano-pores. sba-pr-so3h as ...

Three 2D Ag(I)-framework isomers were constructed from enantiopure camphor-10-sulfonic acids or racemic camphor-10-sulfonic acids, together with achiral 4-aminobenzoic acids. In complex 1, (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acids bridge the single left-handed helices that are made up of Ag ions and 4-aminobenzoic acids, generating a homochiral 2D layer. In such a structure, the interweaving of triple left...

1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) under solvent-free conditions. excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and easy work-up procedures are advantages of this green method.

brønsted acidic ionic liquid triethylamine-bonded sulfonic acid {[et3n-so3h]cl} efficiently catalyzes the one-pot multi-component condensation of 2-naphthol with arylaldehydes and dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) under solvent-free conditions to afford 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-11-ones in high yields and relatively short reaction times.

Cyclic voltammetry measurements on imidazolic ionic liquids with sulfonic acid groups and bisulfate counterions revealed that they work as efficient reservoirs of sulfuric are able to dose it demand uphold an catalysis.

An azo dye used as photosensitizers in Dye-sensitized solar cells DSSCs. Azo dyes economically superior to organometallic dyes because they are color variation and cheap. The spectrophotometric evaluation of an azo dye in solution and on a TiO2 substrate show that the dye form J-aggregation on the nanostructured TiO2 substrate. Oxidation potential measurements for used azo dyes ensured an energ...

Introduction Perfluorinated chemicals have been widely used in commerce for the last few decades. Until recently little was known about their environmental fate and even less was known about their potential environmental effects. Since Giesy and co-workers first demonstrated the widespread occurrence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in wildlife there has...

In a previous paper (Mapson & Cruickshank, 1947) it was shown that certain salts stimulated the synthesis of ascorbic acid in cress seedlings and increased the pH of the cell sap, whereas other salts had the reverse action. It was concluded from this that the deciding factor was the amount of base made available to the plant after metabolism of the salt. Ray (1934) found that certain sugars inc...
