Dicalcium phosphate dehydrate DCPD as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation
<p>We have described the catalytic activities of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) in the condensation reaction of various substituted benzaldehydes with active methylene compound malononitrile. The influences of reaction conditions on the corresponding catalytic behavior have been investigated. The results showed that the DCPD exhibited high catalytic activity and versatility and that it can be recycled without significant loss of its activity for the condensation reactions, which shows the material is a promising new type of heterogeneous catalyst for the condensation reactions. Meanwhile, the catalytic results of DCPD compared favorably with those of other materials for Knoevenagel reactions reported previously.</p
Hybrid crystal NH<sub>3</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>4</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>SiF<sub>6</sub> as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of benzoxazoles, benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles under solvent-free conditions
<p>An easy synthetic protocol for the synthesis of biologically active benzimidazole, benzothiazole and benzoxazole derivatives has been demonstrated using a hybrid crystal NH<sub>3</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>4</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>SiF<sub>6</sub> as a mild and efficient heterogeneous catalyst. Short reaction times, solvent-free conditions, good to excellent yields, easy reusability and use of an eco-friendly catalyst are some of the significant attributes of the present method.</p
