Green and efficient synthesis of 1, 2, 4-Triazolidine-3-thiones using guanidine hydrochloride as a recyclable catalyst under the aqueous condition

A rapid and highly efficient methodology for the synthesis of 1, 2, 4-Triazolidine-3-thiones derivatives has been developed in the presence of a catalytic amount of guanidine hydrochloride using water as a solvent. The reaction of thiosemicarbazide with different aryl aldehydes resulted in the formation of title compounds in good yields (85% -95%) with a convenient reaction time (20-30 min). The key advantages of this approach are shorter reaction time, energy efficiency, easy work-up procedure, and wide substrate scope tolerance. Further, the catalyst was recycled without significant loss of its catalytic activity

Knoevenagel Condensations Catalyzed by New Oil Shale Recyclable Catalyst at Room Temperature and Assisted by Ultrasounds Irradiations

Functionalized alkenes were successfully synthesized via a clean procedure in a short time by using a new recycled heterogeneous catalyst prepared from Moroccan oil shale, this catalyst is characterized by different technics such XRD, BET-BJH, MEB-EDS, and TGA, before it’s has been used in the Knoevenagel condensation between different aldehydes and active methylenes. The results showed that coupling the catalyst with ultrasound irradiations could improve the catalytic system in this transformation by achieving the products in a very short time, the results showed clearly that this catalyst could be considered as excellent recyclable support in Knoevenagel condensation.

12-Tungstophosphate Acids: An Efficient, Green and Recyclable Photocatalyst in Carbon-Carbon Double Bond Isomerization on Linear Alpha Olefins

The accelerated UV visible photocatalytic carbon-carbon double bond isomerization of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) with 12-Tungstophosphate Acids (12-TPA) as an efficient, environmentally-friendly and recyclable catalyst was described, which produced the corresponding Linear Internal Olefins (LIO) in general high selectivity and high yields.
