A SO3 H-containing solid acid namely SO3 H-functionalized phthalimide (SFP) was synthesized from phthalimide and chlorosulfonic acid, and identified by studying its FT-IR, 1 H and 13C NMR, Mass, XRD, TG and DTG spectra. Afterward, its catalytic activity was examined for the solvent-free condensation of dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) (2 eq.) with arylaldehydes (1 eq.). The results ...

organocatalyst trityl chloride (ph3ccl), by in situ formation of trityl carbocation with inherent instability, efficiently catalyzes the condensation of dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) (2 equiv.) with arylaldehydes (1 equiv.) under solvent-free conditions to afford 9-aryl-1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes in high to excellent yields and in relatively short reaction times. formation of t...

a facile and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes has been developed by one-pot knoevenagel condensation, michael addition and cyclodehydration reaction of dimedone (active methylene carbonyl compound) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of iron (iii) sulfate hydrate as a solid acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. various aromatic aldehydes were uti...

Bis(2-ethylheptyl) phthalate is an anti-oxidant and anticancer compound that was extracted from the Cynodon dactylon plant stem extract and fully identified and characterized by FTIR, CHN, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, along with various 2D NMR techniques. The phthalate compound was modified and functionalized by polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains followed by complexation to Cu(II) ions. The resultant complex w...

An environmentally friendly, facile and solvent-free synthetic route for aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate (Al2(SO4)3.18H2O) catalyzed one-pot multi-component synthesis of 12-aryltetrahydrobenzo[α]xanthene-11-ones, 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes and 14-aryl-14Hdibenzo[α,j]xanthenes has been developed. The readily, easy to handle, non-toxic, environmental friendly and low-cost catalyst, easily sepa...
