AbstractRecently, conversion of lignocellulose into useful substances has attracted increasing attention. In our previous investigations, microcrystalline cellulose was successfully converted to methyl glucopyranosides (MeGlc) by the combined use of ionic liquid (IL) and microwave irradiation under moderate reaction conditions. In this study, lignocelluloses, including softwood, hardwood, and rice straw, were directly converted to methyl glycopyranosides (MG), including MeGlc, methyl mannopyranosides (MeMan), and methyl xylopyranosides (MeXyl) using acid-catalyzed methanolysis under microwave irradiation in ILs. Lignocellulose ball-milling was quite effective as a crucial process of increasing the yield of MG. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the molar yield of MeGlc reached 40% from softwood, which was a comparable yield from microcrystalline cellulose. MeXyl was also obtained in a 48% yield. These results showed that the combination of the dissolution of ball-milled lignocellulose in IL and the microwave-assisted methanolysis was an effective method of converting lignocellulose into a high-value-added substance.

An array of 2,4-disubstituted thiazolines was obtained through Asinger reaction approach from the straightforward treatment of diverse aldehydes/ketones with 1-mercaptopropan-2-one, in the presence of NH3 assisted by microwave irradiation, displaying similar and sometimes higher yields, as well as shorter reaction times that traditional Asinger reaction conditions at room and lower temperatures.

An efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of 1,5-benzothiazepines has been developed by the reaction of various 2-propen-1-ones with 2-aminothiophenol using microwave irradiation in greener reaction medium, glycerol. The clean reaction conditions, shorter reaction time, high yields and non-toxic, biodegradable reaction medium manufactured from renewable sources are unique features of this method.

AbstractConversion of lignocellulose into useful chemicals is an important research topic in the area of biomass utilization. In this study, microcrystalline cellulose (MC) was dissolved in a mixed-solvent system containing the ionic liquid (IL) 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl) andN-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), and the cellulose was directly converted into methyl glucoside (MG) by acid-catalyzed methanolysis aided by microwave irradiation (μWIr). Under moderate reaction temperature and pressure, and in the presence of acetyl chloride/methanol (in situformed HCl) as an acid catalyst, MG was obtained in a 42% yield. In contrast, in the absence of either IL or μWIr, the MG yield was only 5 or 21%, respectively. Both μWIr and the dissolution of cellulose in IL were quite effective for the conversion of cellulose into MG.

We present here a new proposal for the “one pot” generation of new 4-thiazolidinones (9a–e) through a multicomponent reaction under microwave irradiation conditions, using aromatic and heteroaromatic amines (8a–e), absolute ethanol as a “green” solvent and modifying the aldehyde group in the glycosidic residue, synthesized from D-mannitol. The study is focused in the variation of the irradiation times and the concentration of thioglycolic acid in order to study the possibility of controlling the structure and/or stereochemistry of the products formed in the reaction. Thiazolidinones 9a–d were obtained with a 69–82% The generation of the corresponding reaction products were monitored by TLC and CG-MS, taking reaction aliquots. The conditions reaction proved to be chemoselective depending on the excess of acid and irradiation times.

One-pot efficient protocol to the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrano(3,2-c)chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives via condensation of various aryl aldehydes, dicyanomethane and 4-hydroxycoumarin in presence of Emim hydroxide as an excellent homogeneous liquid catalyst. The key advantages of this methodology are mild reaction conditions, novel catalyst, short reaction time, eco-friendly, easy work-up procedure and high yield of isolation of derivatives.

: Microwave chemistry is an emerging area of science mainly focusing on various applications of microwave energy into chemical processes. Microwave irradiation has enormous potential to provide controlled energy directly to the molecules of interest. On the other hand, homogeneous gold catalysis has emerged in the last two decades or so as one of the most promising fields in organic and organometallic chemistry. Its efficacy has been established many times for the construction of new C – X (X = O, N, S, etc.) and C – C bonds under mild reaction conditions. Although a significant number of reports have appeared in the literature regarding the homogeneous gold-catalyzed organic transformations under microwave conditions, this is the first review article which is going to appear in the literature. This mini-review is designed to give an interesting insight into various homogeneous goldcatalyzed organic reactions under microwave irradiation for the synthesis of a library of electronically and structurally diverse and biologically important organic molecules.
