A rapid, green and efficient method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthene derivatives through a one-pot condensation of 2-naphthol with various aromatic aldehydes in the presences of several acidic ionic liquids including [PSMIM]Cl, [BMIM]HSO4, [BMIM]Cl, [BMIM]Br, and [BMIM]BF4 as organocatalysts and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (AILs) under solvent-free conditions is desc...

a green and convenient method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14h-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13-diones and spiro[dibenzo[a,i]-xanthene-14,3'-indoline]-2',8,13-triones in the presence of a catalytic amount of cellulose sulfuric acid (csa) as an efficient biopolymer-based catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 100 °c is described. the condensation reactions of β-naphtol, 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dion...

Grapholita molesta (Busck) is one of the major pests of Rosaceae, causing significant damage to buds and fruits. In Southern Brazil, its population density is reduced during Rosaceae dormancy months. The present study evaluated the influence of different photoperiods (L:D) (10:14, 11:13, 12:12, 13:11, 14:10 and 16:8) at 25 ± 1ºC and 60 ± 10% RH on diapause induction of G. molesta eggs, larvae, ...

Nano-silica supported titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4.SiO2) was prepared and used as an acid catalyst for the 14-aryl or alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,,j]xanthenesreaction under solvent-free conditions. Compared to the classical 14-aryl or alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenesreaction conditions, this method consistently has the advantage of excellent yie...
