Environmentally benign and easily recoverable magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs) were demonstrated to catalyze the one-pot conversion of cellobiose, a glucose disaccharide, to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). The conversion was achieved in water under hydrothermal conditions. The catalytic activity of Fe3O4NPs surpassed those of iron (II) and iron (III) chlorides in this reaction. Optimized cellobiose conversion reactions catalyzed with Fe3O4NPs gave the highest 5-HMF yields of 23.4 ± 0.6% at 160°C for 24 hours. After three reuses, the Fe3O4NP catalyst retained its catalytic activity with similar 5-HMF yields, demonstrating the recyclability of this eco-friendly catalyst in water.

An efficient and environmentally benign protocol for the one-pot, three-component synthesis of 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydro-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives by condensation of aryl aldehydes, 2-naphthol and dimedone using H4SiW12O40(SiWA) as a reusable catalyst with high catalytic activity was reported. The reaction was carried out at 100 ºC under solvent-free conditions within 15-40 min in 82-91% yield.

AbstractThe uniform decoration of Cu(II) species and magnetic nanoparticles on the melamine-functionalized chitosan afforded a new supramolecular biopolymeric nanocomposite (Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4). The morphology, structure, and catalytic activity of the Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 nanocomposite have been systematically investigated. It was found that Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 nanocomposite can smoothly promote environmentally benign oxidation of different benzyl alcohol derivatives by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to their corresponding benzaldehydes and subsequent Knoevenagel condensation with malononitrile, as a multifunctional catalyst. Interestingly, Fe3O4 nanoparticles enhance the catalytic activity of Cu(II) species. The corresponding benzylidenemalononitriles were formed in high to excellent yields at ambient pressure and temperature. The heterogeneous Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 catalyst was also very stable with almost no leaching of the Cu(II) species into the reaction medium and could be easily recovered by an external magnet. The recycled Cs-Pr-Me-Cu(II)-Fe3O4 was reused at least four times with slight loss of its activity. This is a successful example of the combination of chemo- and bio-drived materials catalysis for mimicing biocatalysis as well as sustainable and one pot multistep synthesis.

Background: A green, recyclable and reusable chitosan catalyst has been utilized for the synthesis of 5-amino-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]thiazole-4,6-dicarbonitrile and its derivatives. Methods and Results: Three-component reaction protocol incorporates the reaction of aldehydes, malononitrile and rhodanine derivatives. This is examined as an efficient route for the synthesis of dicarbonitriles utilizing a green, biodegradable, environmentally benign, and easily available chitosan catalyst. In the reported protocol, catalyst can be recycled and not any substantial dropping in its catalytic activity during the recycling steps was obtained. Conclusion: A green and environmentally benign, one pot three-component protocol has been illustrated for the synthesis of 5-amino-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]thiazole-4,6-dicarbonitrile derivatives. Adequately yield products were gained via the natural catalytic approach with the recyclability of the catalyst. The use of chitosan represents this procedure as an attractive substitute for the synthesis of biaryls complex by multicomponent reaction condition.

A series of new 8-aryl-7,8-dihydro[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]chromen-6-ones were synthesized via a three-component reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol, aromatic aldehydes and Meldrum’s acid in the presence of CeCl3·7H2O under solvent-free conditions. The method provided several advantages such as easy work-up, high yields and environmentally benign procedure.

AbstractA rapid and an efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of quinoxalines catalysed by ZnO-beta zeolite at room temperature is described. This environmentally benign method provides several advantages over methods that are currently employed such as a simple work-up, mild reaction conditions, good to excellent yields, and a process to recover and reuse the catalyst for several cycles with consistent activity.

The one-pot domino Knoevenagel-type condensation/Michael reaction of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with 4-hydroxycoumarin in aqueous media in the presence of ruthenium salt as homogeneous catalyst was investigated. It was found that 5 mol% of RuCl3.nH2O catalyzes biscoumarin synthesis in high yields (70-95%) under optimised, mild, green and environmentally benign reaction conditions in short times (25-35min).
