Friedel-Crafts reaction is one of the most useful synthetic tools in organic chemistry, mainly in the synthesis of aromatic ketones. The active catalysts for this reaction are modified zeolites and are preferable catalysts when shape selectivity affects the formation of the expected product. In this review, our aim is to corroborate recent literature available on zeolite catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reaction.

Sonochemical oxidative-coupling of formamides with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the corresponding carbamates by CuO nanoparticles as a catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant has been reported. Various derivatives of enol carbamates were synthesized with good to high yields under the optimized reaction conditions. Compared with conventional methods, the main advantage of this method is mild conditions.

Simple and clean access to pyrazolo[3,4-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives using solvent- free and HSBM techniques through the multi-component reaction of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1Hpyrazol- 5-amine, 1-aryl-2-thiocyanatoethan-1-one and aromatic aldehydes are reported. Using 2-hydroxyethan-1-aminium acetate as an ionic liquid, the product in high yields is obtained.

In the current study, a green, one-pot, three-component reaction was performed to prepare novel N-substituted 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. The thiadiazoles were obtained from the reaction of a ketene S,S-acetal of Meldrum’s acid or barbituric acid (as key intermediates), hydrazine, and isothiocyanate. The key advantages of this manner include environmentally safe reactions, high yield, appropriate reacti Read More

In the present study, nickel nanoparticles (Ni-NPs) immobilized on graphene oxide-chitosan (GO-Chit-Ni) have been synthesized and characterized as a catalyst for reduction of nitroarenes in water. For this purpose, GO has been functionalized with chitosan (GO-Chit). Then, Ni-NPs were immobilized on the surface of GO-Chit using a simple method. The GO-Chi-Ni nanocomposites were characterized using Fourier Transfor Read More

An efficient, simple and regioselective ring-opening reaction of epoxides with various carboxylic acids under metal-free conditions is reported. The ring-opening of epoxides takes place in the presence of graphite oxide as an efficient and available catalyst to produce the corresponding 2-hydroxy monoester and 1,2-diester derivatives in good yields. Regioselective attack of the nucleophile, short reaction times, metal-free Read More

A series of polybenzimidazole was synthesized by the solution polycondensation reaction of 3,3´-diaminobenzidine (DAB) with dicarboxylic acid derivatives. The synthesized polybenzimidazoles were characterized by using IR, 1H-NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). TGA and DSC studies showed that the polybenzimidazoles have good thermal stability and are generally am Read More

A series of pyrazole-based heteroaromatic compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and aromatic aldehydes in Choline chloride/urea DES as a green solvent. This simple and green procedure has advantages such as easy operation, short reaction times, efficient yields, low cost and minimum use of hazardous solvents and catalysts. The structure of compounds was determined by IR, 1H a Read More

Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DOSS) as a unique material both as a drug and surfactant was synthesized by a facile and economical synthetic method. In this project, Amberlyst-15 was selected as a heterogeneous recyclable bronsted solid acid for this synthesis both in the esterification of maleic anhydride and sulfonation of dioctyl maleate (DOM) ester. This catalyst was easily recovered and reused at least for 13 consecuti Read More

The present work was aimed to synthesize eight new diphenylamine derivatives by the reactions of 2-chloro-N-(4-(diphenyl amino) thiazol-2-yl)acetamide with substituted phenols in the chloroform along with anhydrous potassium carbonate and potassium iodide. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, Mass and elemental analysis techniques. Toxicity profile (acute and subacute or Read More
