A high-density sulfonic acid polymer, grafted onto a carrier surface, was synthesized from the acid form of vinylsulfonic acid monomer, and its catalytic activity as a new class of heterogeneous acid catalyst demonstrated in esterification reactions.

Silica sulfuric acid as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the preparation of amidines 2 from formimidate 1 by reaction with aromatic amines at room temperature in good to excellent yields. Imidate was prepared by treatment of equimolar quantities of triethyl orthoformate and diaminomaleonitrile in refluxing dioxane. All the compounds were characterized fully by ...

A new heterogeneous catalyst, hydrophobic TiO4-deposited mesoporous silica, has been designed for the efficient Mukaiyama-aldol condensation, a water-participating Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction between a hydrophobic carbonyl compound and silyl enol ether. The prepared catalyst suspended in water exhibited high catalytic performance as a reusable catalyst for the reaction without a surfactant.

The reaction of 3-chloropropyl boehmite nanoparticles with caffeine and sulfuric acid afforded BNPs-3-propyl-imidazolopyridinium hydrogen sulfate [BNPs-Caff]HSO4 as a new BNPs-supported ionic liquid (IL) catalyst. [BNPs-Caff]HSO4 proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidines via a one-pot four-component reaction of...

Various types of aldehydes undergo crossed-Aldol condensation with ketones in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) under solvent-free conditions. The reported method is mild, efficient and has the advantages such as using heterogeneous catalysis, short reaction times, high yields of the products and the recyclability of the catalyst.

A novel modified Fenton process using heterogeneous catalyst (swarf) was developed to catalyze the oxidation reaction of azo dye Acid Red 18. It was found that swarf could be used to replace iron salts as a catalyst for the Fenton reaction. The examined continuous Fenton process proved to be very efficient for decolorization of simulated wastewater containing 100 mg/dm3 Acid Red 18. Performance...

in this report, synthesis, characterization and application of silica perchloric acid nanosphere as a novel and heterogeneous catalyst is described. these nanospheres have been characterized by xrd, ft-ir, bet and tga spectra and also by sem and tem images. the results show that it has a spherical shape and the particles size are between 75 and 100 nm. the catalytic activity has been investigat...

knoevenagel condensation between barbituric acid and aldehyde was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of arylidene and bis-arylidene barbiturates. excellent yields and short reaction times are related to the high efficiency of sba-pr-so3h that the reactions take place easily in its nano-pores. sba-pr-so3h as ...
