Heterogeneous catalysis is a crucial component of green chemistry. In this study, a series of polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) catalysts, specifically PANF-TBDs, were developed by immobilizing the commonly utilized super organic base 1,5,7-triazabicyclo [4.4.0] dec-5-ene (TBD) onto commercially accessible PANF. This novel catalyst facilitates the effective and eco-friendly one-pot synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene. Moreover, an investigation into the impact of modification density on the catalytic efficacy of PANF-TBDs have been conducted. It was observed that PANF-TBD(2.0) with a higher TBD graft density can yield exceptional results, even surpassing 96 %, in a mere 30 min at a mild temperature 30 °C when utilizing water as a green and easily available solvent. Furthermore, the catalyst can be effortlessly isolated from the reaction system and displays notable reusability for a minimum of 10 cycles without show obvious decline in performance.
A one-pot, sequential, three-component procedure is reported for the synthesis of poly-substituted dihydropyridines via the condensation reaction of diamines or aminophenoles, 1,1-bismethylmethio-2-nitroethylene and α,β-unsaturated aromatic ketones in acetonitrile under reflux conditions. A range of fused and non-fused poly-substituted dihydropyridines were prepared in good to high yields with short reaction times.
The review is focused on C–C and C–heteroatom bond forming methodologies involving reactions arising after hydropalladation of alkynes and allenes using Pd0 catalysts associated to catalytic or stoichiometric amounts of carboxylic acids. Most of the procedures occur with complete or high atom-economy, avoiding large generation of waste and producing functionalized compounds. The synthetic scope is presented and mechanistic problems are discussed.
