Based on MFe2O4 (M=Co,Cu, and Ni): Magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts in synthesis of heterocyclic structural scaffolds

Abstract

Catalysis research under magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts is a well-known topic in organic synthesis. In recent times, catalysis research has clearly experienced a renaissance in the area of utility of ferrite nanoparticles based on their ability to recovery and reusability. In this review, the focus is on the fabrication, characterization and of application the MFe₂O₄ (M=Co, Cu, and Ni) nanocatalysts in synthesis of heterocyclic structural scaffolds.     

Magnetically reusable nanocatalysts in biginelli synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs)

Abstract

Molecules containing dihydropyrimidinone (DHPMs) structures are very important in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry due to their excellent biological activities application in synthesis of natural products. Biginelli condensation reaction between an aldehyde, urea/thiourea and a carbonyl compound is the most popular strategy for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones. Magnetic recoverable nanocatalysts can be readily separated from reaction medium by using an external magnet, without the need for filtration, centrifugation or other tedious workup processes. In recent times, the catalytic potential of magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts was evaluated in a variety of Biginelli reactions. In this review, we focus on the application of magnetically recoverable gold nanocatalysts in Biginelli synthesis of dihydropyrimidinone derivatives.     

SOLVENT-FREE CONVERSION OF OXIRANES TO THIIRANES WITH THIOUREA

Highly Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Halohydrins from Epoxides Catalyzed with Ceric Ammonium Nitrate

Ce(IV) as ceric ammonium nitrate can effectively catalyze ring opening of epoxides with halides under very mild conditions and easy procedure to give the corresponding β-chloro-and β-bromohydrins in excellent yields. The reactions occur with both substituted and unsubstituted quaternary ammonium halides and with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The reaction of optically active styrene oxide with chloride ion was found to be highly stereospecific and afforded the corresponding β-halohydrin in 96% ee.     

One-pot synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-(NH)-triazoles by silica supported-zinc bromide in the aerobic condition

An efficient one-pot cross-coupling/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition sequence was developed for a convenient synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted-1,2,3-(NH)-triazoles, starting from various acid chlorides, terminal alkynes and sodium azide in the presence of silica supported-zinc bromide under aerobic conditions.     

Separation of Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions by supported liquid membrane using D2EHPA/M2EHPA as mobile carrier

The separation of Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions was studied in an aqueous sulphate medium using supported liquid membrane (SLM). D2EHPA/M2EHPA was used as a mobile carrier, microporous hydrophobic PTFE film was used as a solid support for the liquid membrane, and the strip phase was sulphuric acid. The effects of different parameters such as feed concentration, carrier concentration, feed phase pH, and strip phase pH on the separation factor and flux of Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions were studied. The optimum values obtained to achieve the maximum flux were 5.0 for feed pH, 40 vol. % for D2EHPA/M2EHPA concentration in the membrane phase, 0.5 for strip pH, and 0.012 mass % for feed concentration. Under these optimum conditions, the flux values of Cd(II) and Ni(II) were 15.7 × 10^?7 kg m^?2 s^?1 and 2.6 × 10^?7 kg m^?2 s^?1, respectively. The separation factors of Cd(II) over Ni(II) were studied under different experimental conditions. At a carrier concentration of 10 vol. % and feed concentration of 0.012 mass %, the maximum value of 185.1 was obtained for the separation factor of Cd(II) over Ni(II). After 24 h, the percentages of the extracted Cd(II) and Ni(II) were 83.3 % and 0.45 %, respectively.
