AbstractIn continuation of our previous works on the application of (NH4)42[MoVI72MoV60O372(CH3COO)30(H2O)72], a Keplerate-type giant-ball nanoporous isopolyoxomolybdate, as a catalyst for a series of organic transformations, in this paper, we discovered that this new attractive catalyst has high catalytic activity in the synthesis of biscoumarins prepared by the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes in refluxing ethanol. The catalyst was prepared according to a previously published literature procedure using inexpensive and readily available starting materials. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recovered conveniently and reused efficiently such that a considerable catalytic activity still could be achieved after fifth run. Other beneficial features of this new synthetic approach include short reaction time, high yields, clean reaction profiles, and a simple work-up procedure.

Abstract In this work, with the use of two natural compounds, chitin and sepiolite clay, a novel covalent hybrid is fabricated and applied as a support for the stabilization of silver nanoparticles with the aid of Kombucha extract as a natural reducing agent. The resultant catalytic system, Ag@Sep-N–CH, was characterized via XRD, TEM, FTIR, ICP, SEM, TGA, UV–Vis and BET. It was found that fine Ag(0) nanoparticles with mean diameter of 6.1 ± 1.8 nm were formed on the support and the specific surface area of the catalyst was 130 m2 g−1. The study of the catalytic performance of Ag@Sep-N–CH for catalyzing synthesis of xanthenes in aqueous media under mild reaction condition confirmed that Ag@Sep-N–CH exhibited high catalytic activity and could promote the reaction of various substrates to furnish the corresponding products in high yields. Moreover, the contribution of both chitin and sepiolite to the catalysis has been affirmed. It was found that hybridization of these two components led to synergistic effects and consequently improved the observed catalytic activity. Notably, the catalyst was recyclable up to several reaction runs.

Efficient synthesis of non-annulated 2-amino-4H-pyrans and 2-amino-8-oxo-4,8-dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran derivatives, which are biologically relevant heterocycles is achieved, utilizing a domino three-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate or kojic acid with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile catalyzed by Zn(L-proline)2 as reusable organometallic catalyst. The process exhibits high atom economy, short reaction time, simple work up, high yields and environmentally friendly nature. Excellent yields of the targeted molecules have been obtained.

AbstractFor the first time, synthesis of AB ring core of camptothecin synthons such as (2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)methanols (Va-Vg) using zinc oxide nanoparticles is reported. The desired attractive products were obtained in high yields, short reaction time, using a simple work-up procedure with the purification of products by non-chromatographic methods.

Ru3(CO)12-catalyzed divergent ring-opening coupling reactions of a cyclopropenone with methyl acrylate (an electron-deficient alkene) are developed. Under an argon atmosphere, a decarbonylative linear codimer is obtained, while cyclopentenones are obtained under carbon monoxide (20 atm) without decarbonylation. While ruthenium complexes show no catalytic activity for the ring-opening cocyclization of cyclopropenones with ethylene (20 atm) or bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (2-norbornene), rhodium complexes, especially [RhCl(η4-1,5-cod)]2, show high catalytic activity for the desired cocyclization reactions to give the corresponding cyclopentenones in high yields and selectivities. In addition, [RhCl(η4-1,5-cod)]2 realizes the catalytic ring-opening co­cyclization of cyclopropenones with internal alkynes to give the corresponding cyclopentadienones. In all these reactions, ruthena- or rhodacyclobutenones are considered to be key intermediates, generated by strain-driven oxidative addition of a cyclopropenone C–C bond to an ­active ruthenium or rhodium species.

Diverse dithioic acid copper complexes exhibit a high catalytic activity in the copper-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition using several solvents under different temperatures, showing a high efficiency with only 0.005 mmol catalyst/mmol alkyne or less. A dithioic acid copper complex derived from acetophenone was selected and used as the catalyst in the preparation of a library of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles. This process occurred in high yields and good functional group tolerance.

Nowadays, the synthesis of biofuels from renewable raw materials is very popular. Among the various challenges involved in improving these processes, environmentally benign catalysts compatible with an inexpensive feedstock have become more important. Herein, we report the recent advances achieved in the development of Niobium-containing heterogeneous catalysts as well as their use in routes to produce biodiesel. The efficiency of different Niobium catalysts in esterification and transesterification reactions of lipids and oleaginous raw materials was evaluated, considering the effect of main reaction parameters such as temperature, time, catalyst load, and oil:alcohol molar ratio on the biodiesel yield. The catalytic performance of Niobium compounds was discussed considering the characterization data obtained by different techniques, including NH3-TPD, BET, and Pyr-FT-IR analysis. The high catalytic activity is attributed to its inherent properties, such as the active sites distribution over a high specific surface area, strength of acidity, nature, amount of acidic sites, and inherent mesoporosity. On top of this, recycling experiments have proven that most Niobium catalysts are stable and can be repeatedly used with consistent catalytic activity.

A series of sulphate-vanadia impregnated fumed silica oxidative catalysts were synthesized via impregnation method. The samples were prepared by impregnation of 1 wt% of vanadium and 0.2 M of sulphuric acid onto fumed silica as support. Surface area of the silica supported samples were similar of 118 m2/g. UV-Vis DRS results showed existence of o supported V species and the charge transfer bands associated with O2- to V5+ in tetrahedral environments. Catalytic performance were evaluated via epoxidation of 1-octene to 1,2-epoxyoctane using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. It had been demonstrated that sulphate-vanadia impregnated fumed silica had high catalytic activity of 626 ± 0.2 mmol epoxide was produced after 24 h reaction. This may indicate that more oxidative sites were generated after the impregnation of V and sulphate onto the SiO2 matrixes.

AbstractRecently magnetic nanocatalyst has attracted considerable attention because of its unique properties, including high performance, easy separation from the reaction mixture, and recyclability. In this study, a novel magnetic bionanocomposite was synthesized with chitosan and tannic acid as a natural material. The synthesized bionanocatalyst was characterized by essential analysis. Fe3O4@chitosan-tannic acid as a heterogeneous nanocatalyst was successfully applied to synthesize pyranopyrazole and its derivatives by a one-pot four-component reaction of malononitrile, ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, and various aromatic aldehyde. At the end of the reaction, the nanocatalyst was separated from the reaction mixture and was reused several times with no significant decrease in its catalytic performance. Simple purification of products, the ability for recovering and reusing the nanocatalyst, eco-friendliness, high yields of pure products, mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, non-toxicity, economically affordable are some of the advantages of using the fabricated nanocatalyst in the synthesis of pyranopyrazole.
