A rapid and chemoselective method for the N-formylation of structurally diverse anilines with formic acid using nanoalumina sulfonic acid (NASA) at 70oC under solvent-free condition has been developed. The catalyst was found to be compatible with different functional groups and the formylation proceeded smoothly with anilines bearing electron withdrawing as well as electron donating substituents.

Silica boron sulfonic acid [SiO2–B(OSO3H)3] as an inexpensive, reusable, and Lewis and Brønsted acid catalyst was successfully synthesized, and used for the one-pot three-components synthesis of biologically active substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives  in the absence of solvent at 90ºC. Silica boron sulfonic acid is attractive and efficient, because it plays in two role as a Lew...

phospho sulfonic acid (psa) synthesized as an environmentally safe and efficient solid acid catalyst, and it used for the synthesis of several 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles, 2-substituted benzoxazoles, and 2-substituted quinoxalines in ethanol as a green solvent at ambient temperature is described. (i) a very simple, green and efficient procedure for the synthesis of benzimidazole and also benz...

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...

a mild and green method has been developed for the preparation of coumarins derivatives through the one-pot reactions. in our study,various phenols and ethyl acetoacetate compound in which we used silica-supported boron sulfonic acid [sio2/b(so4h)3] as a new, highly efficient and tri-functional inorganic brønsted acid catalyst were processed under solvent-free condition and thermal. the catalys...

Two highly efficient protocols for the production of bis-coumarins under solvent-free conditions have been introduced. The reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin (2 eq.) with arylaldehydes (1 eq.) using phthalimide-N-sulfonic acid (PhtSA) or isatin-N-sulfonic acid (IsSA), as solid-acid catalysts, afforded the mentioned compounds with good to excellent yields in short times.Briefly, we have introduced tw...

Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, oxidative and nitrosative stress, and leukocyte infiltration in the colon. Here, we investigate the effects of the selective iNOS-inhibitor (S)-2-amino-(1-iminoethylamino)-5-thiopentanoic acid (GW274150) on the development of experimental colitis induced by dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid. When compare...

An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of αaminonitriles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different aldehydes with amines and trimethylsilyl cyanides has been developed using natural alumina, alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), nano-γ-alumina, nanoalumina sulfuric acid (nano-ASA) under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. The advantages of methods are short reaction times, h...

3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium tetrachloroferrate {[Msim]FeCl4} as an efficient sulfur catalyst was prepared and applied, as an efficient catalyst, for the cross-aldol condensation reaction between cycloalkanones and arylaldehydes to give α,αʹ- bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones in high yields and short reaction times at 75 °C under solvent-free conditions. 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium...
