Silica gel has been used for synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin and aryl aldehydes. The reaction conditions are completely in agreement with green chemistry principles including sing water as media and a recyclable and safe catalyst. This method is also simple and inexpensive and leads to high yield of products in short reaction times.

Modafinil [2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide] is used clinically in the treatment of narcolepsy and sleeping disorders. The synthesis of modafinil, begins with the reaction of benzhydrol and thioglycolic acid in trifluoroacetic acid to afford benzhydrylsulfinyl acetic acid. The reaction of acid with thionyl chloride in benzene followed by treatment with ammonium hydroxide gave acetamide...

1-Carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride {[cmmim]Cl} is utilized as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes by the condensation reaction of indole with arylaldehydes under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. In summary, the presented method have several advantages including simplicity, low cost, generality, efficiency, clean reaction profi...

High purity single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were synthesized from ethanol by catalytic CVD method. The yield of SWNTs was determined based on TGA complemented by Raman and TEM analyses. The effects of CVD reaction time and pre-reduction of catalytic metal on the yield and quality of synthesized SWNTs were investigated. The SWNT yield of more than 40% was achieved over the weight of zeoli...

Both the continuous and batch transesterification of linseed oil were examined in order to maximize the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) yield. The continuous process was conducted in a packed bed reactor using calcium oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst. In addition, the impact of two variables, namely the molar ratio of methanol to oil and the flow rate (ml/min), on the FAME yield were stu...

Novel imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles were synthesized in good yield via a mild reaction of thiophenytoin and diethyl oxalatein the presence of 10% mol p-TSA.

A simple extremely fast and efficient approach for the synthesis of substituted indazole ingood to excellent yield catalyzed by using silica sulfuric acid (SSA) in DMSO solvent at roomtemperature. This is solid state reaction have been attracting the synthetic organic chemist asthey provided enhance reaction rates, less environmental pollution, greater selectivity, cleanerproducts and manipulat...

Condensation reaction of chalcones with malononitrile and ammonium acetate in the presence of the green nano-modified SBA-15 affords the corresponding 2-amino-3-cyanopyridine derivatives in excellent yield. This approaches claimed to be an environment friendly protocol as it afforded some advantages such as excellent yields and cleaner reaction.

Preparation of 2- and 6-thienylazulene derivatives was established by the palladium-catalyzed direct cross-coupling reaction of 2- and 6-haloazulenes with the corresponding thiophene derivatives in good yield. Several thienylazulene derivatives were also used in the reaction with 2-chloroazulene derivatives in the presence of the palladium-catalyst to afford the thiophene derivatives with two a...
