Bi2O3/FAp,a sustainable catalyst for synthesis of dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives through green strategy

The bismuth loaded on fluorapatite (Bi₂O₃/FAp) proved to be an excellent catalyst for the synthesis of novel dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives via a three-component reaction involving the mixture of 1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine, ethyl cyanoacetate or ethyl acetoacetate, and different benzaldehydes in ethanol at room temperature. The catalyst material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, Fourier-transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The efficacy of Bi₂O₃/FAp as a heterogeneous catalyst was evaluated with the loading of different wt% of bismuth on FAp. The 2.5% bismuth on FAp performed extremely well as a catalyst with a high yield of products (92%–96%) in a short reaction time (25–35 min). The catalyst was recovered by simple filtration. It showed undiminished activity up to five runs. Simple work-up, room temperature reaction, short reaction time, high yields, no column chromatography, and good reusability of catalyst are the merits of the proposed protocol. In addition, this process offers 100% carbon efficiency and 98% atom economy with noteworthy fiscal and environmental benefits.

Synthesis of novel pyrazole‐based triazolidin‐3‐one derivatives by using ZnO/ZrO2 as a reusable catalyst under green conditions

An efficient approach for the synthesis of 10 novel pyrazole‐based 1,2,4‐triazolidin‐3‐one derivatives catalyzed by ZnO‐loaded ZrO₂ as heterogeneous catalyst with ethanol as solvent is described. The structure of the mixed metal oxide catalyst was characterized by various instrumental techniques (scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller). In smooth reactions, products were accomplished in excellent yields (90–94%) with short reaction times (≈ 45 min). ZnO/ZrO₂ catalyst exhibited good recyclability. The catalyst is reused six times without any noticeable loss of activity. The major advantages of this method are operational simplicity, mild conditions, simple work‐up procedure and broad functional group tolerance.

Green synthesis and characterization of novel 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazole derivatives with eco-friendly red brick clay as efficacious catalyst

Use of cheaper and recyclable materials contributes positively to economic growth with environmental sustainability. We report the prospect of utilizing red brick clay as catalyst, which exhibited excellent activity in rapid one-pot four-component condensation of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles with high conversion and yields (91–96%) in aqueous medium at 60 °C in short reaction times (25–40 min). The red brick clay material was fully characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX and BET analyses. Red brick clay consisted of oxides of Si (20.38%), Fe (19.55%), Al (14.30%) and minor amounts of Ca (3.60%) and Mg (1.68%). The slate-like-shaped structure morphology and flaky appearance of inexpensive solid clay material proved competent material for the synthesis of 15 novel 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazole derivatives. In addition, the advantages of the eco-friendly method are non-toxicity and re-usability of the catalyst. Reaction offers 78% atom economy and 84% carbon capture.

     

Facile one-pot green synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzo[g]chromenes in aqueous ethanol under ultrasound irradiation

Abstract

We report an efficient green one-pot approach for the synthesis of eighteen novel dihydro-4H-benzo[g]chromene derivatives under ultrasound irradiation conditions. The three-component condensation reaction proceeded through Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of chosen active methylene compounds and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione with different substituted aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate in water and ethanol mixture at room temperature, which furnished high yields of products (91–98%) in a rapid reaction time of 5–15?min. This procedure offers 95% of the atom economy and 100% of carbon efficiency together with other eco-friendly benefits.     

Recent advances in heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of imidazole derivatives

Among the bioactive heterocyclic frameworks, nitrogen containing multisubstituted imidazoles are versatile building blocks of many naturally occurring products. Imidazoles possess wide range of biological properties including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antihypertensive activities with potential applications in other sectors. Multicomponent reactions in combination with heterogeneous catalysts and nanocomposites have contributed significantly to organic synthesis in general and imidazoles, in particular with high functional group tolerance. Owing to their tunable properties, lower operational cost, thermal stability, recyclability, and easily separation from products, heterogeneous catalysts and nanocomposites are integral part of numerous pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and industrial processes. There has been increased focus on the development of green and sustainable catalytic procedures for the building of novel and biologically potent imidazole conjugates. This article emphasizes the recent advances in recyclable catalysts and protocols, and their merits for the synthesis of diverse multisubstituted imidazole conjugates by one-pot reaction approach and the catalyst and reactant interactions.
