Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of NiO nanoparticles and their catalytic application for the synthesis of trisubstituted imidazoles under solvent free conditions

The present protocol reports the ultrasound assisted synthesis of NiO nanoparticles(NPs) using benzylamine as a base and different types of cyclodextrins (CDs) as capping agents. The use of α-CD, β-CD or γ-CD leads to different morphologies of NiO NPs. In particular, NiO nanosheets obtained using β-CD as the capping agent. The synthesized NPs were characterized by FEG-SEM, TEM, XRD and EDS analysis. They showed high catalytic activity towards synthesis of different trisubstituted imidazoles under solvent free conditions. In addition, NiO NPs could be recycled and reused consecutively up to four recycle runs without much loss of their catalytic activity.

Magnetic nanoparticle-supported sulfonic acid as a green catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions

In this work, magnetic nanoparticle-supported sulfonic acid (γ-Fe2O3-SO3H) is used as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles in a short time (40-70 min for trisubstituted imidazoles and 30-40 min for tetrasubstituted imidazoles) and high-purity products were obtained (92-98% for trisubstituted imidazoles and 94-98% for tetrasubstituted imidazoles) in simple multicomponent reactions. The structure of these products was confirmed via FT-IR and NMR. Green and recyclable catalysts, eco-friendly and solvent-free conditions, high catalytic activity, shorter reaction time, easy recovery by an external magnet, high purity, and excellent yields are some features of these reactions.

A rapid practical process has been developed for synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-imidazoles in excellent yields up to 95% from readily available starting materials. In this CuI catalyzed synthesis, trisubstituted imidazoles were afforded in short reaction times, wherein the substrate scope is well explored with benzoin as well as benzil reacting with different aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate as the nitrogen source.

A green and simple method for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-1H-imidazole derivatives using acidic ionic liquid as an effective and recyclable catalyst under ultrasound

Abstract: In the current work, an acidic ionic liquid ([{(IMC)-4-OMBH}BIM][HSO4]3) has been utilized as an effective and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-1H-imidazole derivatives with high yields under optimal reaction conditions and ultrasound irradiation. Important features of the new catalyst are facile synthesis, cheap reagents and successful reuse for many times. What makes the present method an effective contribution in the field of synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-1H-imidazole derivatives is the fact that it can be described as environmentally friendly, economical, short reaction time, possible recover of the catalyst, simple workup, safer and mild reaction conditions.

Pumice-modified cellulose fiber: An environmentally benign solid state hybrid catalytic system for the synthesis of 2,4,5-triarylimidazole derivatives

In this study, we developed an instrumental hybrid catalytic system comprising cellulose fiber and volcanic pumice powder, which was applied as a suitable organic–inorganic hybrid catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4,5-triarylimidazole derivatives. High reaction yields (97%) were obtained in short reaction times (20 min) using this catalytic system. In physical terms, the high porosity of pumice provides an extremely high active surface area for electronic interactions among the components. Moreover, the most distinctive properties of this catalytic system are high biodegradability, simple separation of the catalyst, and good reusability. The natural pumice can be recovered easily using an external magnet and reused with no significant decline in the catalytic activity. The structural characteristics of this efficient catalytic system were assessed using various analytical methods.
