The development of a silica-promoted highly selective synthesis of 1,2 or 1,3-dithioethers via solvent-free one-pot tandem reactions of an allyl bromide with excess thiol at room temperature is described. The choice of silica gel, either pre-calcined or moistened with water, exhibited notable regioselectivity in the formation of dithioethers. Plausible mechanistic routes were explored and postulated.
A simple and efficient method for the one-pot Biginelli condensation reaction of aldehydes,β-dicarbonyl compounds, and urea or thiourea employing [DABCO](SO3H)2Cl2as a novel ionic liquid catalyst is described.
Ultrathin Ni-MOF nanobelts, [Ni20(C5H6O4)20(H2O)8]·40H2O(Ni-MIL-77 NBs), were synthesized by a facile one-pot solution process and can be used as an efficient catalyst electrode for glucose oxidation under alkaline conditions.
