Current Organocatalysis - Volume 9, Issue 1, 2022

Organocatalysis was established to be a wide-applicable approach from its inception and rediscovery in the year 2000, where proline was used as a catalyst in aldol condensation and soon after the successful emergence of iminium catalysed reactions in organic synthesis. Development of new potential catalytic systems is always an important as well as an uphill task for scientists and researchers. The fundamental organic synth Read More

Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, is the most important vitamin observed in diverse food. Ascorbic acid has various applications in several fields. Studies have depicted that in organic synthesis, it can be used as a mediator or substrate. The derivatives of ascorbic acid have been found to possess numerous biological activities. In this review, we report the important derivatives of ascorbic acid, which have significant biol Read More

Green chemistry is also referred to as sustainable technology, which involves the design, synthesis, processing and the use of chemical substances by reducing or eliminating the chemical hazards. This strategy focuses on atom economy, use of safer solvents or chemicals, use of raw materials from renewable resources, consumption of energy and decomposition of the chemical substances to non-toxic material which are eco-f Read More

Background: Soil is an ultimate source of all types of nutrients, which have both biological and non-biological importance. Studies are being carried out to isolate the various type of micro- organism from soil which has much more importance. So in the present study, amylase-producing bacteria have been isolated from various soil samples. Aim: The isolation, identification, and estimation of various microbial strains for α-amylase Read More

Aims: Synthesis of 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ones as well as 6H-indeno[ 1,2-b]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrazin-6-one derivatives under greener conditions. Background: Quinoxaline and related skeletons are very common in naturally occurring bioactive compounds. Objective: Design a facile, green and organo-catalyzed method for the synthesis of 11H-indeno[ 1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ones as well as 6H-indeno[1,2-b]pyrido[3,2-e]p Read More

Aims: In search of a ligand-free, recyclable, selective, and stable catalytic system, we engineered both Pd/GO and Pd/rGO composites and tested them as catalysts for Heck and Suzuki reactions in [bmim] NTf2 ionic liquid medium. Background: Various reports and reviews have been published on exploring the application of ionic liquids as a reaction medium for different organic transformations. Recently, graphene-supported Pt Read More

Background: Presently worldwide manufacturing of formic acid follows the permutation of methanol and carbon monoxide in presence of a strong base. But due to the use of toxic CO molecule and easy availability of CO2 molecule in the atmosphere, most of the research has been shifted from the conventional method of formic acid synthesis to direct hydrogenation of CO2 gas using different homogenous and heterogeneous c Read More

Aims: A green route for the oxidation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in room temperature ionic liquid ([CEMIM]BH4) was developed using hydrogen peroxide as the oxygen source. In aqueous solution at room temperature, 0.2 mol% of ([CEMIM]BH4) showed excellent catalytic properties for selective oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols. Background: One of the vital reactions in organic synthesis Read More

Background: The synthesis of 5-arylation uracil nucleosides is an imperative challenge, especially for the method of Suzuki reaction using N-unprotected uracil as materials, which holds the potential to enhance the yield. Objective: The objective of this study was to find a more efficient catalyst to increase the yield of aryluracils and aryluridines. Methods: We first constructed the Phosphanamine-Grafted Cellulose (PAGC) Read More
