Synthesis and characterization of new hybrid inorganic–organic polymer nanocomposite as efficient catalyst for oxidative desulfurization of real fuel

Sulfur-containing compounds are responsible for much air pollution, and therefore eliminating these compounds is of importance. Herein, a hybrid organic–inorganic recyclable nanocatalyst (TBA-PW₁₁Ni@PANI) was synthesized successfully to investigate its effects on the catalytic oxidative desulfurization (CODS) process of real gasoline/model fuel. To this end, the Keggin-based mono-lacunary polyoxometalate [PW₁₁NiO₃₉] was prepared and modified with quaternary cation tetrabutylammonium (TBA). Then, this was further immobilized on polyaniline (PANI) via the sol–gel method. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using various techniques. The high dispersion of polyoxometalate on PANI was confirmed. Also, it was found that the crystalline structure remained unaltered after immobilization. In addition, the effects of various parameters such as dosage and temperature on the CODS of model fuel in the presence of H₂O₂–acetic acid (1:2 v/v) were studied in detail. Moreover, the kinetics of the CODS process was also studied and a mechanism proposed. According to the results, TBA-PW₁₁Ni@PANI showed an efficiency of up to 97% with 0.1 g at 35°C (optimum values) which implies its good catalytic functionality in the CODS process. Finally, the TBA-PW₁₁Ni@PANI catalyst displayed long-term stability and good reusability after five runs.

Hybrid inorganic–organic material Fe₃O₄@Alg@CPTMS@Arg, was prepared by the layer-by-layer techniques through grafting l-arginine (l-arg) to Fe₃O₄@Alg using 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (CPTMS) as a linker. Fe₃O₄@Alg was prepared by in situ co-precipitation of iron (iii) and iron (ii) chloride in the presence alginate (Alg). The hybrid inorganic–organic material was characterized employing various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The as-prepared Fe₃O₄@Alg@CPTMS@Arg nanoparticles mediated the synthesis of pyrazole derivatives with via one-pot reaction between phenylhydrazine, malononitrile, and various aromatic aldehydes under reflux in ethanol. Recycled catalyst exhibited comparable efficacy after seven cycles. The high catalytic activity, excellent yields, as well as the recyclability of the hybrid nanomaterials with quantitative efficiency, are factors that render this environmentally benign procedure appealing.

One-pot sequential synthesis of quinazolin-8-ol derivatives employing heterogeneous catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling

Abstract

We report herein an efficient and eco-friendly method for a one-pot sequential synthesis of quinazolin-8-ol derivatives. A variety of boronic acids were used for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with commercially available SiliaCat?®?DPP-Pd heterogeneous catalyst. Use of this catalyst ensures minimal leaching of palladium in the product and alleviates the need of further purification. The reaction conditions used in the four synthetic steps were optimized to telescope three intermediates without first requiring their isolation to establish an efficient and eco-friendly one-pot synthesis.
