al-mcm-41 nanoreactors is found to be a remarkable efficient catalyst for one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation of benzil, aniline or ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions. the reaction was efficiently promoted by 10 mg nano-al-mcm-41 and the heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for four runs in this reaction with...

Nano-silica-bonded 3-n-propyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride (nano-SB-[PSIM]Cl) was applied as a highly efficient, general and heterogeneous catalyst for one pot multi-component reaction of 2-naphthol, arylaldehydes, and thioacetamide leading to 1-thioamidolakyl-2-naphthols. All reactions proceeded with excellent yields in short times under solvent-free conditions. Our protocol was superi...

Two-component reaction of 2-aminobenzophenones with acetylenic esters in the presence of γ-Al2O3 and Cu/ZnO as suitable heterogeneous catalysts has been studied. Nano γ-Al2O3 and Cu/ZnO showed high activities when used as surface catalysts for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst was ...

The surface of magnetite nanoparticles as nano-sized solid support was modified with a molybdenum-Schiff base complex to prepare an easily separable heterogeneous catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins. Characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, scanning, an...

A novel generic method of silica supported catalyst system generation from a fluid state is presented. The technique is based on the combined flow and radiation (such as microwave, thermal or UV) induced co-assembly of the support and catalyst precursors forming nano-reactors, followed by catalyst precursor decomposition. The transformation from the precursor to supported catalyst oxide state c...

in the present study, the synthesis of diethylene triamine supported on cellulose biopolymer as a biodegradable solid basic heterogeneous catalyst was suggested. then, the applicability of the synthesized catalyst cellulose bonded n-propyl diethylene triamine (cbpdeta) was tested for the synthesis of oxindole derivatives, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds. a various series o...

Background Catalysts improve the rate or selectivity of chemical reactions without being consumed in the chemical reaction. “Supported heterogeneous catalysts” consist of catalytic active sites carried on the surfaces of porous solids, known as “supports”. Such catalytic materials are especially important for chemical manufacturing because they minimize the loss of valuable catalytic materials ...

The challenge of estimating the crystalline-fraction of dense randomly-oriented nano-particles, contained in a (less-dense) amorphous support, is increasingly important in fields as diverse as heterogeneous-catalyst design and electronic-data storage. Lattice-fringe visibility-analysis [1,2] is a potential tool in this context, but of course interfering contrast from the amorphous support (as w...

The controllable preparation of nano-gold catalyst maintains a challenge. Except the parameters have been revealed before, here we'd like to show that controllable preparation of active nano-gold catalyst can be achieved using chlorine as an indicator. By tracing the chlorine concentration in the washing step, a series of Au/Fe2O3 catalysts were prepared with co-precipitation method. The applyi...
