zinc ferrite (znfe2o4) nanoparticles were synthesized via the auto-combustion assisted sol-gel method of zn2+ and fe3+ ions (molar ratio 1:2) in ammonia solution. the prepared nanomagnetic catalyst was characterized by ir, xrd, sem and icp. the diameter of the znfe2o4 mnps (63.7 nm) was determined by debye-scherre equation via their xrd pattern. nanomagnetic znfe2o4 efficiently catalyzes oxidat...

The present article describes novel oxidative protocols for direct esterification of alcohols. The protocols involve successful demonstrations of both "cross" and "self" esterification of a wide variety of alcohols. The cross-esterification proceeds under a simple transition-metal-free condition, containing catalytic amounts of TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy)/TBAB (tetra-n-butylamm...

We have developed the first example of hypervalent iodine(V)-catalyzed regioselective oxidation of phenols to o-quinones. Various phenols could be oxidized to the corresponding o-quinones in good to excellent yields using catalytic amounts of sodium salts of 2-iodobenzenesulfonic acids (pre-IBSes) and stoichiometric amounts of Oxone® as a co-oxidant under mild conditions. The reaction rate of I...

Accelerated bleaching and photobleaching of diluted solutions of Methyl Orange and other dyes occur only when Co2+-ions are present in solution mediating oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4) decomposition. The bleaching of Methyl Orange, Orange II and Methylene Blue dyes in dilute solutions (0.01 mM) proceeds within a few minutes and occurs at biocompatible pH leading to a decrease in the toxicity of the...

Potassium monopersulfate has been decomposed in aqueous solution in the presence of Co(II). The effect of the main operating variables has been assessed. Minimum variations in pH exert a considerable influence on the process kinetics. Thus, when no pH adjustment is considered, the actual effect of variables like initial monopersulfate and/or catalyst concentration may be hindered. As expected, ...

nanomagnetic mgfe2o4 is an active, stable, and reusable catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols. the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols has been examined and related corresponding products were obtained in good yields. the reactions were carried out in the presence of water as solvent and oxone (at room temperature) or h2o2 (at 60 ºc) as an oxidant. the catalyst was investigated...

A new synthesis of 2-oxa-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonane is described. Spirocyclic oxetanes, including 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane were converted into o-cycloalkylaminoacetanilides for oxidative cyclizations using Oxone® in formic acid. The expanded spirocyclic oxetane successfully gave the [1,2-a] ring-fused benzimidazole. X-ray crystal structure of the resultant new tetracyclic system, 1',2'-dihydro-4...
