In this research the magnetite nanoparticles supported silica sulfonic acid(Fe3O4@SiO2@OSO3H) was used as a green and efficient catalyst for the preparation ofoctahydroquinazolinone derivatives as biologically active heterocyclic compounds. Thisprocedure avoids hazardous reagents, solvents, catalyst and can be an eco-friendly alternativeto the existing methods. The one-p...

[(triple bond SiO)Mo(triple bond NAr)(=CHCMe2R)(OtBu)], a well-defined silica supported alkene metathesis catalyst precursor, shows a dramatic enhancement of activity and selectivity compared to [Mo(triple bond NAr)(=CHCMe2R)(OtBu)2] and [(triple bond SiO)Mo(triple bond NAr)(=CHCMe2R)(CH2tBu)], respectively.

Au/SiO(2), which was prepared properly to have a high dispersion of gold nanoparticles, acts as an extremely active catalyst for the selective oxidation of a variety of silanes. It outperforms other reducible oxide supported gold catalysts thanks to the affinity of the silica support to the silane substrate.

Palladium complexes immobilized onto generation 0-3 PAMAM dendrimers supported on silica were used as catalysts for the carbonylation of iodobenzene in methanol to form methyl benzoate. High yields were obtained and the catalyst was recycled 4-5 times without significant loss of activity. The carbonylation reaction was found to be applicable to a variety of iodoarenes regardless of the nature o...

A mild, selective and efficient Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones catalyzed by phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) is described. The process demonstrates a broad substrate scope with functional group tolerance under short reaction times. PMA supported on silica gel is more efficient than the bulk catalyst and is recycled up to three times without significant activity loss.

The effect of vanadium oxide as support and promoter on supported rhodium catalysts on the CO hydrogenation has been investigated at 0.15 and 4.0 MPa. Rh/V,O, reduced at 723 K has a good selectivity toward oxygenated products, especially C,-oxygenates, but has a low activity added as a promoter to catalysts consisting and stability. Vanadium oxide of rhodium supported on silica and alumina show...
