Catalyst-free and solvent-free synthesis of novel symmetrical bisthioglycolic acid derivatives

A simple, efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective method has been developed for the synthesis of symmetrical bisthioglycolic acid derivatives by a one-pot reaction of aldehydes or ketones with thioglycolic acid under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions in excellent yields (87–97%). The advantages of this novel protocol include the excellent yields, operational simplicity, short reaction times, and the avoidance of the use of organic solvents and catalysts.     

Tris(hydrogensulfato) boron as a solid heterogeneous catalyst for the rapid synthesis of α,α’-benzylidene bis(4-hydroxycoumarin) derivatives

α, α’-Benzylidene bis（4-hydroxycoumarin） derivatives were readily prepared in a few minutes with good yields through the reaction of an aromatic aldehyde and 4-hydroxycoumarin in aqueous media in the presence of catalytic tris（hydrogensulfato） boron [B（HSO₄）₃].
