β-acetamido ketones were synthesized in excellent yields through one-pot condensation reaction of aldehydes, acetophenones, acetyl chloride, and acetonitrile in the presence of boric acid as a solid heterogeneous catalyst at room temperature. It is the first successful report of boric acid that has been used as solid acid catalyst for the preparation of β-acetamido ketones. The remarkable advan...

Heterogeneous catalysts are now being tried extensively for biodiesel synthesis. These catalysts are poised to play an important role and are perspective catalysts in future for biodiesel production at industrial level. The review deals with a comprehensive list of these heterogeneous catalysts which has been reported recently. The mechanisms of these catalysts in the transesterification reacti...

2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazanomethylphenol (dnphmp) was immobilized onto silicate rice husk ash to form a heterogeneous catalyst denoted as rhdnph. the elemental and edx analysis of rhdnph showed the nitrogen is incorporated into silica. the rhdnph had 154.6 m2g-1 as a specific surface area. the ft-ir clearly showed the appearance of –nh and c=n absorption band at the expected range. the tga curve ...

silica ferric hydrogensulfate is an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclization of 2- aminochalcones to the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinolin- 4(1h)-ones. this intramolecular aza michael reaction was carried out in high yields using chalcones bearing of electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. the catalyst is reusable without significant decreases in its activity after four t...

decatungstodivanadogermanic acid (h6gew10v2o40.22h2o) was used as a green heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1h)-ones from one-pot three-component cyclocondensation reaction of a β-ketoester, an aldehyde and urea/thiourea under solvent-free conditions is reported. this method provides an efficient and much improved modification of the original biginelli reaction...

The Fe-MCM-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. The catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by Fe (III) ion exchange. The prepared cata...
