A mild and expeditious synthesis of amides from aldehydes using bio glycerol-based carbon as a recyclable catalyst

Electrochemical detection of mercuric(ii) ions in aqueous media using glassy carbon electrode modified with synthesized tribenzamides and silver nanoparticles

This study reports the synthesis, characterization, and mercuric ion detection ability of novel tribenzamides having flexible and rigid moieties.

Bioglycerol-derived carbon−SO3H as a recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carbolines

A variety of aldehydes undergo smooth coupling with N-tosyltryptamine in the presence of carbon−SO3H in ethanol at 80 °C to furnish the corresponding tetrahydro-β-carbolines in excellent yields with high selectivity. The coupling of tryptamine with isatins affords the respective spiro-tetrahydro-β-carbolines in good yields. The use of a recyclable solid acid catalyst makes this method simple, convenient, and cost-effective.
