Colloidal deposition of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) onto NH2-UiO-66 nanocrystals has been demonstrated with the resulting hybrid catalyst proving robust and versatile for one-pot, heterogeneous conversions involving the selective oxidation of primary alcohols in tandem with Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Within these systems, structure-property correlations have been established to confirm...

Correction for ‘A review of the recent progress on heterogeneous catalysts Knoevenagel condensation’ by Jimmy Nelson Appaturi et al., Dalton Trans., 2021, 50, 4445–4469, DOI: 10.1039/d1dt00456e.

A total synthesis of the structure corresponding to the novel tricyclic diterpene guanacastepene C has been realized in which a Knoevenagel cyclization serves as a key step to annulate the six-membered C-ring on a stereochemically secured bicyclic hydroazulene precursor.

We report a concise synthesis of A-factor, the prototypical γ-butyrolactone signalling compound of Streptomyces bacteria. In analogy to enzymatic reactions in A-factor biosynthesis, our synthesis features a tandem esterification-Knoevenagel condensation yielding a 2-acyl butenolide and a surprising, chemoselective conjugate reduction of this α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound using sodium cyanob...

A concise and efficient approach to the synthesis of structurally diverse 6,8a-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives has been accomplished by a three-component reaction involving sulfonyl acetonitrile, an aromatic aldehyde, and 6-aminouracil. The method involves the domino Knoevenagel condensation/Michael addition/cyclization cascade in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing ethanol.

a simple and green synthetic strategy to prepare bao/tio2-zro2 as a solid base catalyst was reported. these materials with various amounts of bao were prepared by the adsorption method. the physical and chemical properties of bao/tio2-zro2 were investigated by x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, specific surface area and bjh pore size distribution, ft-ir spectroscopy, scanning electron micro...

efficient knoevenagel condensation of barbituric acid with different aromatic aldehydes on basic alumina was performed in a conventional microwave over in the absence of solvent.

The Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aldehydes with malononitrile was described in this study, which was catalyzed by an efficient and recyclable ionic liquid-supported proline. The method represented an attractive alternative to the classical synthesis strategies and exhibited the advantage of performing homogeneous chemistry on a large scale additionally avoided large excesses of reagents...
