Metal-free, p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA)-mediated, straightforward propargylation of β-ketothioamides with aryl propargyl alcohol has been achieved at room temperature. In addition, the reaction also provided thiazole rings as byproducts. Furthermore, the propargylated thioamides undergo intramolecular 1,5-cyclization to afford fully substituted (hydro)thiophenes in the presence of base. Nota...

A simple, rapid and efficient practical method for one-pot synthesis of α-amino nitriles has been achieved by a threecomponent condensation of carbonyl compounds, amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) as a catalyst at ambient temperature. Operational simplicity, economic consideration, high yield, short reaction time and low toxicity are the key fe...

The four-component reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole, aromatic aldehydes, acetylenedicarboxylate and piperidine or pyrrolidine in ethanol afforded the functionalized 2-pyrrolidinones containing both benzothiazolyl and piperidinyl (or pyrrolidinyl) units in good yields. On the other hand, the similar four-component reactions resulted in the functionalized morpholinium or piperidinium 2-pyrrolidin...

supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-co2) was used as solvent to synthesize oleyl oleate as an analog of jojoba oil from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol with high conversion (100%) of the acid into ester in a short time of 100 min. utilizing a low cost solid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (ptsa), the esterification reaction was performed, without any prior preparation step, in a flow mod...

Layered double hydroxide represents a class of materials for selective adsorption and catalysis. In the present work, anionic p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) was successfully incorporated into interlayer domain Mg-Al layered (LDH), synthesized by co-precipitation route. Materials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman magic angle nuclear ...

Glycosylation in room temperature ionic liquid is demonstrated using unprotected and unactivated donors. Modest yields of simple benzyl glycosides and disaccharides of glucose, mannose and N-acetylgalactosamine were obtained in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium benzoate with Amberlite IR-120 (H(+)) resin or p-toluenesulfonic acid as promoters.

Inexpensive and readily available sulfonic acids, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and sulfuric acid are versatile and efficient catalysts for the peracetylation of a broad spectrum of carbohydrate substrates in good yield and in a practical time frame. Three appealing features in sulfonic acid-catalyzed acetylation of free sugars were explored including (1) suppression of furanosyl acetate formation fo...

In the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst the domino reaction of arylamines, methyl propiolates and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol proceeded smoothly to give polysubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in moderate yields. The reaction is believed to involve the Povarov reaction of in situ generated β-enamino ester with the in situ formed aromatic imine.
