A variety of alcohols and phenols are efficiently acetylated with acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalytic amount of V(HSO4)3 in solution and under solvent free conditions.Mild reaction conditions,high yields of the products,easy procedure and selective acetylation of alcohols and phenols in the presence of amines and thiols are the main advantages of this procedure.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of asymmetric thiocarbonohydrazones under solvent-free conditions

Six new asymmetric thiocarbonohydrazones 3a-3f were synthesized from following steps:firstly hydrazine hydrate reacted with carbon disulfide to form thiocarbonohydrazide(1) under microwave irradiation.Then compound(1) reacted with ketone and different aldehydes step by step to give 3a-3f with excellent yields under solvent-free conditions using microwave irradiation.Their structures have been determined by elemental analysis,IR,MS and ~1H NMR data.

A Facile Procedure for Conjugate Addition of Amines to Electron Deficient Alkenes with Metal Oxide as Catalyst

A novel efficient procedure has been developed for the conjugate addition of amines to electron deficient alkenes. A series of metal oxides was synthesized for catalyzing the conjugate addition of amines and alkenes. After optimizing the reaction conditions, SrO was chosen as the most efficient catalyst for the reactions. The results show that the catalyst is very efficient for the conjugate addition of amines to electron deficient alkenes with the excellent yields in several minutes. Operational simplicity...     

Bi(NO3)3 · 5H2O mediated synthesis of 4,4′-diaminotriarylmethane leuco malachite compounds under solvent-free conditions

In this report, we described the synthesis and characterization of a variety of diaminotriarylmethane derivatives with dimethylamino functional groups. These compounds were synthesized by the tandem regio-selective electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction of N,N-dimethylaniline with aryl aldehydes to form the corresponding diaminotriarylmethane compounds. In our strategy, Bi(NO₃)₃ was used as a catalyst under solvent free conditions to afford the desired products in good to excellent yields.

Ultrasound irradiation promoted enzymatic alcoholysis for synthesis of monoglyceryl phenolic acids in a solvent-free system

Monoglyceryl phenolic acids (MPAs) were known as the natural hydrophilic antioxidants which could be used in different fields such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic etc. A novel enzymatic route of MPAs synthesis by the alcoholysis of phenolic acid ethyl esters with glycerol under ultrasound irradiation in solvent free system was developed. Optimization of reaction parameters shows that a high conversion of above 97.4% can be obtained under the following conditions: phenolic acid ethyl esters to glycerol molar ratio of 1:10, with 6% catalyst (Novozym 435), at 60 °C and 200 rpm, with ultrasound input of 250 W, at 20 kHz frequency. Compared to the conventional stirring method, the activation energy for phenolic acid ethyl esters conversion was decreased from 65.0 kJ/mol to 32.1 kJ/mol under ultrasound promotion; the apparent kinetic constant (V_m/K_m) increased above 1.2-folds; the lipase amount decreased to 50%; the time required for the maximum conversion reduced up to 3-folds without damaging the lipase activity, which is the fastest report for enzymatic synthesis of MPAs.
