Sulfate anion, as a novel anionic catalyst, promotes the multicomponent cyclisation of aryl isocyantes to give heterocyclic symmetrical isocyanurates selectively under solvent-free conditions. The use of phase transfer catalysts reduces reaction times by 4-16 times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
