A new, green, and highly efficient protocol for the expeditious preparation of some α,α′-bis[(aryl or allyl)idene]cycloalkanones and 2-[(aryl or allyl)idene]-1-indanones via a simple microwave-assisted Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction catalyzed by MoCl5 was successfully developed. Outstanding features of the current methodology include the use of solvent-free conditions, simple operation, use of a very inexpensive and available catalyst, low catalyst loading, short reaction times, high yields of the pure products, no harmful by-products, easy workup, and also the applicability of microwave irradiation as a clean source of energy. Furthermore, a gram-scale reaction was successfully conducted, proving the scalability of this current Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction.

Abstract: α,α′-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones were efficiently prepared from variously substituted aldehydes and cycloalkanones in water by using ash of pomegranate peels (APP) as a catalyst. The APP-catalyst was obtained from bio-waste by simple thermal treatment to dry peels of pomegranate fruit and formation of its active phase was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, XRF, EDX, SEM, DSC-TGA and BET techniques. The analysis revealed that the present catalyst has basic sites which promote the synthesis of desired products. The main attractions of our protocol are utilization of highly abundant bio-waste-derived catalyst and good-to-excellent yield in shortest reaction time. This green protocol was further extended for structurally diverse 2-arylidene-1-tetralones by condensation of equimolar quantity of aromatic aldehydes and 1-tetralone at low temperature. The catalyst could be quantitatively recovered and reused effectively for five times. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Cancer is often associated with chronic inflammation. In order to develop potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents a series of 26 diarylidenecyclopentanones (DACPs) Ia–Iv, II, III, and IV were synthesized. Five of the synthesized DACPs are novel (Ih, Ij, Ik, Is, and Iv), derivative Iv was characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. All the synthesized derivatives were tested for their anti-inflammatory as well as cytotoxicity properties. Compound Is is found to have the highest anti-inflammatory activity (93.67%) by inhibiting PGE2 (prostaglandin E2) production. Three of the DACPs (Io, It, and Iu) were observed to have high cytotoxicity with IC50 value of 8.73 ± 0.06 μM (Io), 12.55 ± 0.31 μM (It), and 11.47 ± 0.15 μM (Iu) against HeLa cells. Further staining and cell cycle analysis was done using these three DACPs to understand their mechanism of action. The G0/G1 phase was observed to be the longest one through which the cells undergo apoptosis.

Base-catalyzed C–C cross coupling of secondary alcohols and aryl-aldehydes was achieved, when an alcoholic solution of an aryl-aldehyde was stirred under reflux for 45?h in the presence of a catalytic (20?mol%) amount of K2CO3. The consistent formation of α,α′-bis-(benzylidene) alkanones was obtained in moderate to good yields using various secondary alcohols and substituted aryl-aldehydes. Herein, α,α′-bis-(benzylidene)alkanones, which are the classical products of Claisen-Schmidt (cross aldol) condensation, have been synthesized via an alternative strategy using secondary alcohols. Bis-(benzylidene) alkanones are an integral part of various drug regimes and the production of bis-(benzylidene) alkanones without using any precious metal is a major outcome of the present reaction.

(Montmorillonite/PEG)-SO3H nanocomposite was successfully prepared for the first time and introduced as a solid acid nanocatalyst. Initially, polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymeric chains were intercalated into interlayer spaces of montmorillonite. The resulting Mt/PEG nanocomposite with good mechanical and thermal stability was chosen as a useful clay mineral/polymer support for further modification with chlorosulfonic acid. Structural characterization of (Mt/PEG)-SO3H was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurements, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that PEG chains were intercalated into the clay mineral layers and that the Mt/PEG nanocomposite was successfully sulfonated. (Mt/PEG)-SO3H nanocomposite exhibited high specific surface area and good stability up to around 150?°C, showing excellent potential for application as a recyclable nanocatalyst. (Mt/PEG)-SO3H was used as an efficient and ecofriendly solid acid nanocatalyst for preparation of α,α′-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions, leading to many interesting findings. The excellent conversion values confirm that the catalyst has strong and sufficient acidic sites, which are responsible for its catalytic performance. The reaction under mild conditions (room temperature) with excellent yield, catalyst recyclability (up to ten times), and simple work-up procedure represent useful advantages of (Mt/PEG)-SO3H for catalysis. Moreover, the reaction could be scaled up to 10 and 15?mmol scales.

Aldol and cross-aldol condensations of aromatic aldehydes with various ketones in the presence of nanometasilica disulfuric acid (NMSDSA) as heterogeneous catalyst are presented. The catalyst was prepared according to the developed earlier method using inexpensive and readily available starting materials. The highly active catalyst gave excellent yields of the desired aldol products without self-condensation reaction taking place. Reaction times were short, the procedure and work-up were simple, and no volatile or hazardous organic solvents were involved. The catalyst could be recovered three times with only slight reduction in activity.

The phase-vanishing (PV) method using perfluorohexanes as the phase screen was applied to the aldol condensation using TiCl4 as the Lewis acid. A special test tube was used, in which an interface between the fluorous and organic layers was stirred, and cyclohexanone was treated with two equivalents of benzaldehyde derivatives under PV conditions to afford corresponding 2,6-dibenzylidencyclohexanone in good yields. The formyl-methylenation of ketones with triethylamine using TiCl4 was also demonstrated by the PV method.

Abstract: The aim of this work is to introduce a novel and attractive protic acidic ionic liquid as catalyst for organic synthesis. To achieve this aim, N,N-diethyl-N-sulfoethanaminium hydrogen sulfate {[Et3N-SO3H]HSO4} was prepared by reaction of NEt3 with ClSO3H and then with H2SO4. The novel acidic ionic liquid was identified by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopies. Its catalytic activity was then examined in the cross-aldol condensation reaction of arylaldehydes with cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions, obtaining α,α′-bis(arylidene)cycloalkanones in high yield after short reaction time.

The highly efficient and chemoselective α,α′-bis-substitution of alkanones is important in organic synthesis. Herein, a dimeric titanium cluster, Ti2Cl2(OPri)6·2HOPri (Ti2), is used in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, for the selectively activation of symmetrical ketones containing α,α′-methylene groups and production of α,α′-bis-substituted alkanones in high efficiency and chemoselectivity. The high efficiency and chemoselectivity can be extended to a variety of typical alkanones and aromatic aldehydes. Both of the oxo-bridged dimeric motif of Ti2 and the ionic Ti-Cl bond are responsible for the high efficiency and chemoselectivity.
