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...

In this work, palladium (II) chloride-supported-N-(dipyridine-2-ylmethyl)-3-(silica-magnetite)propan-1-amine (nano-Fe3O4@SiO2@dipy@PdCl2) as a new nanostructured catalyst was prepared and its structure completely studied by different techniques and then successfully tested on Heck and Suzuki reactions.

In this research, different alcohols and phenols are subjected to the reaction with HMDS in the presence of ionic liquid and silica-supported catalysts. Silylation was accomplished under mild reaction conditions at room temperature in short reaction times and good to excellent yields.

A stringent comparison between two pairs of molecular/immobilized water oxidation catalysts reveals distinctive catalytic trends. While the molecular compound 1 exhibits a substantial higher activity than analogous immobilized system 1_SiO2, under all experimental conditions explored, contrary is found with 2 that far less active its counterpart 2_SiO2. This explained by unique tendency to form...
