Production of biodiesel was involved transesterification process that implicated the reaction between used cooking oil and methanol with aid of KOH. The reaction was carried out at 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min to evaluate the effect of reaction time on the yield of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The highest yield of FAME was obtained at reaction time 60 min. Besides that, the yi...

Aromatic aldehydes are efficiently condensed with 2'-hydroxyacetophenone by polymer-supported basic ionic liquid as an excellent heterogeneous catalyst utilizing the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. Microwave irradiation has been employed, providing flavanone in good yield and short reaction time.

a simple, mild and high efficient procedure for one pot three component synthesis of 2-amino 4-h chromene derivatives was studied. the reaction was performed in water using aryl aldehydes, malononitrile and resorcinol, phloroglucinol or naphthole in the presence of n-methyl d-glucamine (meglumine) as a green high efficient catalyst. the reaction was studied in thermal, microwave (mw) and ultras...

zrp2o7 nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 2-aryl-5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1h-3-pyrazolones by a simple one-pot four-component reaction of phenyl hydrazines, ethyl acetoacetate ,β-naphthol and benzaldehydes under microwave irradiation in good to excellent yields. when the reaction was carried out using zrocl2.8h2o, zro2 and zrp2o7 nps as the catalyst, the pr...

the combustion process of tio2- 2mg- c and 3tio2-4al-3c systems in a tubular furnace was investigated. tic has been synthesized by the magnesiothermic reaction from a mixture of compacted powders of tio2, mg and charcoal as starting materials in the presence and absence of nacl. the effects of temperature, pressure, and the stoichiometry ratio in the reaction yield have been studied. the result...

BACKGROUND Morita Baylis Hillman (MBH) reaction is used to introduce carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond in a molecule. The major drawback of this reaction is the relatively low product yield and long reaction time. Though notable changes have been made to improve the reaction rate and yield of MBH adduct by various groups, a reliable synthetic procedure under ambient temperature in presenc...

In this study, esterification reaction of different carboxylic acids (Acetic acid, Palmitic acid, Oleic acid) with ethanol was investigated by ZnO, Al2O3-ZnO mixed oxide and phosphotungestic acid (10 %wt) immobilized on the Al2O3-ZnO mixed oxide. The heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, FE-SEM and EDX techniques. Optimum yield was achieved by using 10% HPW/Al2O3-ZnO as the be...

Ru/Al2O3 nano-catalysts were prepared with impregnation and microemulsion techniques. The supercritical water gasification reaction was performed at 400oC and 5-60 min. Within the tested operation conditions, the reaction residence time of 15 min was the optimum to maximize the H2 yield. It was observed that using microemulsion technique increases the total gas yield significantly. Using microe...

A simple protocol for the efficient preparation of β-mercapto carbonyl derivatives as antimycobacterial drugs has been achieved via Thia-Michael reaction between chalcones derivatives and thiols in the presence of calcium pyrophosphate as a heterogeneous catalyst under mild reaction conditions. The central composite design was used to design an experimental program to provide data to model the ...
