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...

      Some amide derivatives have been synthesized by the reaction of corresponding nitriles with potassium tert-butoxide as a nucleophilic oxygen source under ultrasonic irradiation. This new methodology provides good to excellent yields in short reaction times (15-90 min) at room temperature.

Sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 as a nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the synthesis of 2-Aryl benzoxazoles 4 by the condensation of 2-aminophenol 1 and benzoyl chlorides 2 under microwave irradiation in solvent free reaction conditions. The advantages of this methodology are good product yields (60-98%), being environmentally benign, short reaction times and easy work up.

In this work, an efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of various substituted 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives via a one-pot three-component catalytic reaction has been described. The reaction was conducted between o-phenylenediamine, dimedone and aldehyde derivatives in the presence of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles as a magnetic heterogeneous nanocatalyst under ball-milling conditions at room ...

A new kinetic method for the determination of Hg(II) based on its inhibitory effect on the Brilliant green-sulfite reaction at pH 6.5 is proposed. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically at 615 nm by measuring the change in absorbance at the fixed time of 3.5 min after the initiation of the reaction. Both the influence of the reaction variables and the interference of many ions have...

Self-organized critical behavior in a catalytic reaction network system induced by smallness in the molecule number is reported. The system under a flow of chemicals is shown to undergo a transition from a stationary to an intermittent reaction phase when the flow rate is decreased. In the intermittent reaction phase, two temporal regimes with active and halted reactions alternate. The number f...

In the present study, we used Illumina sequencing technology (HiSeq 2000) to sequence the transcriptome of barley (Hordeum vulgare L., cv. Morex) under three different heavy metal stress conditions: copper, zinc and cadmium. For each of those metals, the concentration causing a 50% inhibitory effect for root growth (EC50) was determined. We sequenced the total RNA of both roots and shoots from ...

We consider an irreversible autocatalytic conversion reaction A+B-->2A under subdiffusion described by continuous-time random walks. The reactants' transformations take place independently of their motion and are described by constant rates. The analog of this reaction in the case of normal diffusion is described by the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation leading to the existence of ...

Melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the one-pot preparation of triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-1,3,8-trione and 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-1,6,11-trione derivatives by the three-component condensation reaction of urazoles or phthalhydrazide, dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione, and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields ...

The aerobic oxidation of alcohols was efficiently completed in high conversion and selectivity using Cu3/2[PMo12O40]/SiO2 as catalyst under mild reaction condition. This reaction provides a new environmentally friendly rout to the conversion of alcoholic function to carbonyl groups.
