Nanoporous TiO2 modified with an ionic liquid was used for efficient coupling of amines, 1,2-phenylene diamines, 2-aminophenol and 2-aminothiophenol with orthoesters.
In this work, an efficient and green procedure have been described for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-1(2H)-one derivatives using nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (Na+-MMT) modified with 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (Na+-MMT-[pmim]HSO4). The procedure gave the products in excellent yields in very short reaction times under solvent-free condition. Also this catalyst can be reused for six times without considerable loss of its catalytic activity.
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.
