One of the most trending topics in catalysis recently is use renewable sources and/or non-waste technologies to generate products with high added value. That why, present review resumes advances catalyst design for biomass chemical valorization. The variety involved reactions and functionality obtained molecules requires multifunctional able increase efficiency selectivity selected process. glu...

A new approach is present for concentration effects on ionic reactions in solutions of small electrolyte concentrations. It is assumed that the mutual Coulomb interaction is felt by an ion pair only when their separation is smalller than the “Coulombic horizon”, R.,, namely when there is no intervening ion. This leads to an approximate but simple and parameterless, formula for activity coefftci...

Heterogeneous catalysis and their application in industrial-scale organic synthesis of fine chemicals are greatly facilitated by catalysis and further on by catalyst recovery and recycles to fits most “principles of green chemistry. In acid media, terpenoids generally undergoes various transformations. The terpenoid transformations include various liquid Bronsted and Lewis Acids, Acid clays, He...

The review is dedicated to the topical field of research aimed at creating catalysts combining several types active sites. At same time, composition Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) products can be controlled by changing strength and concentration sites inter-site distances. A comparative analysis literature data allows formulate main principles catalytic particles formation in FTS acid-catalyze...

The synthesis of 2,2-dimethyloxepane frameworks based on the 7-endo-trig cyclization ene-diol using a catalytic amount metal catalysts (Au, Ag) or Bronsted acid (TfOH) has been developed. Also, spiro-type dioxabicyclic products were also derived from diene-diols. For condition catalysts, selectively reacted between 1,1,3-trisubstituted alkenes and alcohols to form frameworks. On other hand, TfO...

In order to investigate the influences of Lewis metals on acidic properties and catalytic activities, a series of Keggin heteropolyacid (HPA) catalysts, HnPW11MO39 (M = Ti(IV), Cu(II), Al(III), Sn(IV), Fe(III), Cr(III), Zr(IV) and Zn(II); for Ti and Zr, the number of oxygen is 40), were prepared and applied in the esterification and transesterification reactions. Only those cations with moderat...

Silica Vanadic Acid, SVA, (oxo-vanadium has been supported on silica) as a dual Lewis and Bronsted acid ability was prepared and efficiently catalyzed one-pot multi-component condensation of enolizable ketones or alkyl acetoacetates with aromatic aldehydes, acetonitrile and acetyl chloride. The described reaction was produced β-acetamido ketone or ester derivatives in high to excellent yields i...

Sulfonic acid-based precursors (SAP) play an important role in tailoring mesoporous silica’s and convert them to a solid acid catalyst with a Bronsted-type nature. These kinds of solid acids contribute to sustainable and green chemistry by their heterogeneous, recyclable, and high efficiency features. Therefore, knowing the properties and reactivity of SAPs can guide us to manufacture a sulfona...
