Copper(II) efficiently catalyzes the aerobic oxidation of aryl thioacetamides into the corresponding α-keto aryl thioamides in moderate to high yields in the presence of K2CO3 under O 2 atmosphere. This protocol is simple, clean, and generates water as the only byproduct. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction course. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart  

An efficient and simple method for the reduction of aldehydes, ketones and acid chlorides has been accomplished by using NaBH4-solid LiClO 4 in mild conditions at ambient temperature with complete chemoselectivity in reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. The reaction is fast with high yield and simple workup. Copyright © Taylor & Francis, Inc  

Indole-2(3H)thiones were cyclized under the action of 2-fluorobenzoyl chlorides to give thiochromeno[2,3-b]indol-11(6H)-ones or under the action of 2-chloronicotinoyl chlorides to give pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[2, 3-b]indol-5(10H)-ones. The reaction of cyclization proceeds regioselectively in DMF and does not require transition metals for completion. Obtained heterocycles are isosteric analogues of various tetracyclic indole derived alkaloids  

The first asymmetric synthesis of α,β-disubstituted γ-phosphono sulfonates is reported. The key step is the Michael addition of a lithiated enantiopure sulfonate bearing an inexpensive chiral sugar auxiliary to α,β-unsaturated phosphonates in good diastereoselectivities. After chromatographic purification, the cleavage of the chiral sugar auxiliary proceeds without any epimerization or racemization to form the corresponding isopropyl sulfonate in very good overall yield (75%) and excellent diastereomeric and enantiomeric excess (de, ee ≥ 95%). © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

A simple and green route to synthesis of (4 or 5)-aryl-2-aryloyl-(1H)-imidazoles is described. Two isomers can tautomerize to each other by the heat absorption. The tauto-isomerization process was studied by NMR technique. Acidity and stability of products were studied using B3LYP method. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved  

(Chemical Equation Presented) An efficient and simple route is presented to the synthesis of some iminothiazolidinone derivatives. α-Chloro amide derivatives undergo coupling reaction with isothiocyanate in the presence of a mild base, followed by nucleophilic substitution of chlorine by the sulfur atom of isothiocyanate  

Benzopyrans, or chromenes, are widespread in nature and are considered to be a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report the first organocatalyzed asymmetric synthesis of chiral benzopyrans. The benzopyran unit is constructed through a domino reaction involving an oxa-Michael attack of salicylic aldehyde derivatives onto α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, activated through iminium-ion formation with the organocatalyst, followed by an intramolecular aldol reaction and subsequent elimination of water. This overall reaction sequence provides benzopyrans with aromatic C-2 substituents in up to 60% yield and 60% enantioselectivity, while C-2 aliphatic analogues can be obtained in 90%... 

N-Benzyl-DABCO-ammonium tribromide was found to be an efficient and recyclable reagent for the deprotection of dithioacetals in dichloromethane/ methanol at room temperature. The reaction can be performed cleanly, in short time, and in high yield. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC  

Potassium fluoride supported on alumina efficiently catalyzes Michael addition of aromatic and aliphatic thiols to a variety of conjugated alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, carboxylic esters, amides, nitriles and chalcones. The Michael adducts are produced in good to excellent yields and relatively in short times. The catalyst can be recycled for subsequent reactions without any appreciable loss of efficiency.

4-Amino-2-chloroperbenzoic acid supported on silica gel was found to be a versatile and efficient oxidant for the oxidation of aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding carboxylic acids and esters. Copyright © Taylor & Francis, Inc  

The efficient and very simple conjugate addition of aromatic and aliphatic amines to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions in the presence of catalytic amount of silicon tetrachloride is reported. The reaction of aryl and alkyl amines with different Michael acceptors gave the corresponding Michael adducts with simple catalyst and good to excellent yields

In this study, AgxNi100-x, and CoxNi100-x (x = 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100) bimetallic nanoparticles were successfully decorated on the surface of CeO2 nanorods derived from Ce-metal organic frameworks (Ce-MOF). The as-synthesized products were characterized using different techniques including XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, ICP, and BET. The as-prepared nanocomposites showed remarkable catalytic activity towards the reduction of organic pollutants such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and rhodamine-B dye (RhB) by NaBH4 solution, with high stability and reusability for five consecutive cycles. The obtained results indicated that among these nanocomposites, Ag80Ni20@CeO2, and Co60Ni40@CeO2 exhibited the best... 

Kinetic modeling of CO hydrogenation over Fe-Co-Mn catalyst was investigated; a ternary catalyst was prepared using incipient wetness impregnation. The kinetic parameters were determined from experiments carried out in a fixed bed micro-reactor under the following process conditions: T = 523.15-533.15 K, P = 1-10 bar, H2/CO = 1/1-3/1 and space velocity = 4500 h-1. Seventeen rate expressions were derived from five different mechanisms according to Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) and Eley-Rideal (ER) mechanisms and were tested against the experimental data. Non-linear regression method was used to estimate different kinetic parameters; according to the obtained experimental results...

In this study, a series of highly swelling hydrogels based on sodium alginate (NaAlg) and polymethacrylamide (PMAM) was prepared through free radical polymerization. The graft copolymerization reaction was performed in a homogeneous medium and in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The crosslinked graft copolymer, alginate-graft-polymethacrylamide (Alg-g-PMAM), was then partially hydrolyzed by NaOH solution to yield a hydrogel, hydrolyzed alginate-graft-polymethacrylamide (H-Alg-g-PMAM). During alkaline hydrolysis, the carboxamide groups of Alg-g-PMAM were converted into hydrophilic carboxylate anions. Either the...
