this study represents a highly efficient and regioselective ring-opening of epoxides with acetic anhydride in the presence of naoac·3h2o at solvent-free conditions. the ring-opening of different classes of epoxides were carried in oil bath (70-80 °c) to afford 1,2-diacetates in high to excellent yields

a simple and efficient procedure for converting a variety of 1,1-diacetates into the corresponding aldehydes was developed. the methodology has been done with zirconium sulfate tetrahydrate-silica gel as catalyst. the temperature plays an important role in these reactions. the phenolic acetate function can selectively be deprotected into phenol.

A novel method for the preparation of α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoparticles as an eco-friendly and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst was studied. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as the organic matrix which produced a better dispersion of ZrP nanoparticles. The catalyst was characterized by several physico-chemical techniques such as ICP-OES, XRD, TPD-NH3, pyridine-FTIR, BET, FTIR, TGA, S...
