A simple and highly efficient method has been developed for the tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols by their reaction with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (DHP) using a catalytic amount (0.01–1 mol%) of aluminium triflate under solvent-free conditions. The effect of various factors like temperature, amount of the catalyst, and molar ratio of substrates on the reaction conditions has also been studied. The comparative study of tetrahydropyranylation of benzyl alcohol using various catalysts including some reported ones shows the efficiency of this catalyst.Key words: tetrahydropyranylation, aluminium triflate, alcohols, catalysis.

A highly efficient, green and expeditious solvent-free method is described for the chemoselective conversion of aldehydes to the corresponding acylals in excellent yields, using acetic anhydride in the presence of catalytic amount (20 mol%) of silica-supported LiHSO4. Ketones does not react under these reaction conditions. LiHSO4/SiO2can be recovered and reused without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Background: Acetylation of protic nucleophiles is used to protect these functional groups. Most of the methods described in the literature use solvents, one equivalent or more of toxic bases or expensive and toxic catalysts. Therefore, new methodologies are still in demand, above all, greener and more economical procedures. Objective: An eco-efficient method developed for acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols, amines and carbohydrates, using acetic anhydride and a catalytic amount of the environmentally benign and inexpensive FeCl3.6H2O under solvent free conditions. Methods: Acetylation of a variety of protic nucleophiles was performed using 0.2 mol % of FeCl3.6H2O as the catalyst, and 1.2 equiv. as the acetylating agent at room temperature and under solvent free conditions. Results: Our procedure appears to be highly efficient and promoted rapid and quantitative acetylation under simple and minimum manipulation. Chromatography or recrystallization were generally not necessary for the purification of products. Conclusion: This eco-friendly protocol appears to be potentially universally applicable in organic design to protect protic nucleophiles and potentially scalable for industrial fields.

<p>The rapid and environmental synthetic route to produce 1<em>H</em>-indazolo[1,2-b] phthalazine-1,6,11-triones and 1<em>H</em>-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-diones derivatives have been developed <em>via</em> multicomponent and one-pot reactions of various aldehydes, cyclic or acyclic 1,3-diketones with: <em>i)</em> phthalhydrazide or <em>ii)</em> phthalic anhydride-hydrazinium hydroxide using wet 2,4,6-trichlorotriazine (TCT) as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Simple and mild reaction conditions, the use of a cheap catalyst and easy workup and isolation are notable features of this method.</p>

A catalytic amount (2 mol %) of phosphotungstic acid (PTA) is sufficient to synthesize homoallylic alcohol in excellent yields from aldehyde with allyltributylstannane upon grinding under solvent-free reaction conditions. Easy handling, very short reaction time, solvent-free reaction conditions, and aqueous workup free isolation protocol may make our method very useful for synthetic chemists.
