Eco-friendly magnetic clinoptilolite containing Cu(0) nanoparticles (CuNPs/MZN): as a new efficient catalyst for the synthesis of propargylamines via A3 and KA2 coupling reactions

An environment-friendly methodology for the construction of diversified bicycloacenaphtho[1,2-d]imidazole-8-thione scaffolds using spinel NiFe2O4 nanoparticles as a sustainable catalyst

Herein, we successfully developed an easy access to bicycloacenaphtho[1,2-d]imidazole-8-thione by one-pot three-component MCRs of acenaphthoquinone, aryl or alkyl isothiocyanates and amines using environmentally benevolent and recyclable spinel NiFe₂O₄ nanocatalyst in aqueous ethanol. A broad number of products have been synthesized with both EDGs and EWGs present in the ring which increases the diversity of the protocol. The NiFe₂O₄ nanopowder has been synthesized and thoroughly characterized by powdered XRD, HRTEM, EDX, BET and ICP-AES analysis. The protocol to this bicyclic-heterocycle is noteworthy due to good to excellent yields, practical simplicity and high regioselectivity without any troublesome or hazardous by-products and its easy recovery and reusability of the catalyst. Spinel NiFe₂O₄ NPs-catalysed synthesis of various bicycloacenaphtho[1,2-d]imidazole-8-thione scaffolds under mild and sustainable conditions.

Supported metals on porous solids as heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of propargylamines

This perspective summarizes recent developments in the synthesis of propargylamines using porous solids (zeolites, MOFs and carbon) as supports/catalysts.

Fe3O4/SO3H@zeolite-Y as a novel multi-functional and magnetic nanocatalyst for clean and soft synthesis of imidazole and perimidine derivatives

In this study, SO₃H@zeolite-Y was synthesized by the reaction of chlorosulfonic acid with zeolite-NaY under solvent-free conditions, which was then supported by Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles to give SO₃H@zeolite-Y (Fe₃O₄/SO₃H@zeolite-Y) magnetic nanoparticles. Several techniques were used to evaluate the physical and chemical characterizations of the zeolitic nanostructures. Fe₃O₄-loaded sulfonated zeolite was applied as a novel multi-functional zeolite catalyst for the synthesis of imidazole and perimidine derivatives. This efficient methodology has some advantages such as good to excellent yield, high purity of products, reusability of nanocatalyst, simple reaction conditions, environmental friendliness and an economical chemical procedure from the viewpoint of green chemistry.
