To determine the kinetic parameters of the reactions between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of an NH-acid, such as 2,3-di-hydroxybenzaldehyde, the reactions were monitored by UV spectrophotometry. The second order fits were automatically drawn and the values of the second order rate constants (k 2 ) were calculated using standard equations as part of the program. The dependence of the second order rate constant (lnk 2 ) on the reciprocal temperature was in agreement with the Arrhenius equation, in the temperature range studied, providing the relevant plots to calculate the activation energy of all reactions. Furthermore, we evaluated the effects of solvent, structure of different alkyl groups within the dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and their concentration on the rates of reactions. The proposed mechanism was confirmed by experimental results and steady-state approximation. The first step (k 2 ) of the reaction was recognized as the rate determining step on the basis of experimental data.

In this research, the green synthesis of chromen derivatives in good yields is described via three‐component reactions of 4‐hydroxycumarine, aldehydes or ketones, and methyl ketones in the presence of KF/clinoptilolite nanoparticles (KF/CP‐NPs) under solvent‐free conditions at 50°C in low time. The present methodology suggests some advantages such as low reaction time, easy and simple procedure, green method, inexpensive catalyst, high yield of product, and existence of different substrates for performing these reactions. In addition, it should be mentioned that antioxidant activity was studied for some prepared compounds, such as 4a–4d, by DPPH radical trapping and reducing potential tests of ferric ion and then comparing results with TBHQ and BHT as synthetic antioxidants. In this study, compounds 4c was shown to have moderate DPPH radical trapping, and compounds 4b and 4d displayed good reducing power of ferric ion.

In this research, Fe3O4-MCM-41-SO3H was synthesized as a magnetically reusable Lewis acid catalyst and used in the cyclization reaction of 3-acylcoumarins or 3-chromonecarboxylic acid with arylhydrazine derivatives for the synthesis of pyrazoles in high yields under solvent-free conditions and with a simple work-up process. Fe3O4-MCM-41-SO3H was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analyses.
