MgO nanopartticels (NP-MgO) in average size between 30—130 nm were prepared by sonochemistry method. Some phenols have been converted to ortho-hydroxybezaldehyd by ortho-formylation using MgO nanoparticles and (CH2O)n in xylene and subsequently treated with aqueous NH2OH.HCl, affording the corresponding aldoxime in a one-pot procedure. Moreover, this one-pot process, with two transformations, o...

Cellulose nanocrystals were converted into ratiometric pH-sensing nanoparticles by dual fluorescent labelling employing a facile one-pot procedure. A simple and versatile three-step procedure was also demonstrated extending the number of fluorophores available for grafting. In this method an amine group was introduced via esterification followed by a thiol-ene click reaction.

An efficient synthesis of novel dispirooxindoles has been achieved through three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ by the decarboxylative condensation of isatin and an α-amino acid with the dipolarophile 5-benzylideneimidazolidine-2,4-dione. The improved procedure features mild reaction conditions, high yields, high diastereoselectivities, a one-pot proc...

Bicyclic isoxazolines and isoxazoles are obtained in good yields by proceeding through a convenient one-pot, two-step procedure utilizing 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT) as a dehydrating agent.

5-Substituted and 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins are synthesised from the corresponding aldehydes or ketones, using a one-pot, gallium(III) triflate-catalysed procedure that is compatible with a range of substrates and solvents.

A copper-catalyzed dimethylzinc-promoted three-component cascade reaction of alkynes, sulfonyl azides, and simple aldehydes or ketones is described. Polysubstituted olefins were thus constructed expeditiously in a one-pot procedure under mild conditions.

A new micelle delivery platform based on albumin coated nanoparticles is able to selectively deliver the payload to cancerous cells while healthy cells remain less affected. The technology is simple and can be used in a one-pot procedure.
