The synthesis and application of SBA-15/1,3-DCG/Pd as a novel heterogeneous and reusable nano catalyst in Suzuki reactions was described.

A mildly basic ionic liquid was found to be a very effective basic catalyst at 80 °C.

In the presence of alkene and alcohol, oximes are converted into their parent carbonyl compounds in good yields when treated with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) (1), under microwave irradiation. The simple work-up minimizes loss of products.
