FeCl3-mediated selenylative benzannulation of aryl alkynones to 3-selenyl β-naphthols

An efficient selenylative cyclization of aryl-alkynones with diselenides in the presence of iron(III)chloride at room temperature to prepare 3-seleno-2-naphthols in good yields has been described. Furthermore, the resulting products were transformed into selenyl-naphthofuran and selenyl-1,2-naphthoquinone derivatives.

High acidity cellulose sulfuric acid from sulfur trioxide: a highly efficient catalyst for the one step synthesis of xanthene and dihydroquinazolinone derivatives

A cellulose sulfonate catalyst (HS-cellulose sulfonate) with high stability, excellent catalytic activity and high acidity value (about 1.55 mmol g⁻¹) was successfully prepared by SO₃ gas phase sulfonation. The basic morphology and nanostructure of the catalyst were determined by HRTEM, XRD, IR, TG, etc. In addition, the catalyst was applied to the catalytic reaction of a dihydroquinazolinone derivative and a xanthene compound, and very valuable results were obtained. The development and preparation of cellulose sulfonate catalysts provide a good approach for the development and application of cellulose, and also an important application of green organic catalytic synthesis methodology.

The HS-cellulose sulfonate catalysed green and efficient one-step synthesis of xanthene and dihydroquinazolinone derivatives.

Introduction of O-sulfonated poly(vinylpyrrolidonium) hydrogen sulfate as an efficient, and reusable solid acid catalyst for some solvent-free multicomponent reactions

In this work, O-sulfonated poly(vinylpyrrolidonium) hydrogen sulphate has been prepared as a powerful recyclable solid acid catalyst and characterized using a variety of techniques including elemental analysis, FT-IR, TGA, SEM, XRD, pH analysis and Hammett acidity function.

Al(H2PO4)3 as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of naphthopyranopyrimidines

An efficient one-pot protocol has been developed for the synthesis of naphthopyranopyrimidine derivatives via a three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, β-naphthol and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil in the presence of Al(H₂PO₄)₃.
