An Efficient Synthesis of Annulated Novel

Dihydropyridine Derivatives using Zeolite H-BEA

and Zeolite BEA-SO3H

Manoj Kumar K. Rathod, Sunil R. Mistry, Suban K. Sahoo, Kalpana C. Maheria* Applied Chemistry Department, S. V. National Institute of Technology, Ichchhanath,

Surat-395007, Gujarat, India

Abstract Modified zeolite (zeolite BEA-SO3H) was synthesized with intent to improve the surface

area and Si/Al ratio by loading chlorosulphonic acid onto zeolite H-BEA. Parent and

modified zeolite were characterized by variety of characterization techniques such as, ICP, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, NH3-TPD, BET surface area, etc. The catalytic applications of

parent and modified zeolite H-BEA were demonstrated through the synthesis of novel quinoline and benzoquinoline substituted dihydropyridines (DHPs) via one pot Hantzsch

cyclocondensation reaction. This method affords high percentage yield of DHPs (93%)

within short reaction times. The effects of catalysts and substituent’s (different quinolines and benzoquinoline carbaldehydes) on the synthesis of DHPs were studied and related

reaction mechanism was proposed.

Keywords: Zeolite BEA-SO3H, Hantzsch reaction, MCRs, quinoline and

benzoquinoline substituted dihydropyridines

Abstract Hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 nanorods were subjected to calcination from 350 to

550 C and tested their catalytic performance for hydrogen (H2) production in aqueous

glycerol solution under solar irradiation. High rate of H2 evolution ca.300 µmol.h−1

cat

was recorded with TiO2 nanorods calcined at 500 C. The nanocomposites were prepared

by varying Cu-loading 0.1 to 2.0 wt% and activated at 350 or 500 C. About 25 folds

enhancement in H2 production rate was observed with 1.5% CuO/TiO2 nanorods than calcined ones. Catalyst characterization revealed that as-synthesized TiO2 material was

nanorods with trititanate crystal structure. The optimized photocatalyst confirmed presence of copper in + 2 state and mixed crystal structure of TiO2(B) and anatase.

Based on the experimental results high photocatalytic activity observed is due to

improved crystallanity of TiO2 nanorods and CuO as well.

Catalytic Applications of Copper Species in Organic

Transformations: A Review

Tandon P. K.*, Singh S. B. Department of Chemistry, University of Allahabad, Allahabad 211002, U.P., India

Abstract Copper a naturally occurring element is present in the earth's crust, in oceans, lakes, and

rivers, from minute trace element levels through to rich mine deposits. It is essential to

life – plants, fish, animals and humans all need copper to function properly. Homogeneous copper catalyzed reactions are widely used for the construction of

important organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals, commodity chemicals, and

polymers. The development of copper catalysis has been used extensively in the formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. This Review describes the recent

advances in the fundamental chemistry and the catalytic applications of copper and its complexes in various synthetically useful organic transformations. Present review also

provides a deeper mechanistic understanding of copper chemistry which may lead to the

development of the improved copper catalysts for known chemical reactions and may also inspire novel copper-catalyzed organic transformations.

Keywords: Copper, catalysis, organic transformations, nanocatalysis,

copper-nanoparticles

Abstract The preparation of diaminoglyoxime palladium (II) chloride (PdCl2/DAG complex) and the use of this catalytic system in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under aerobic

and phosphine-free conditions in aqueous solutions is studied. Aryl halides, coupled with

phenylboronic acids smoothly afford the corresponding cross-coupling products with excellent yields (80–98%). The catalytic system showed excellent performance for the

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of less reactive aryl chlorides with aryl boronic acids. The reaction conditions have been evaluated considering the effect of various

parameters such as reaction time, temperature, amount of catalyst, amount of base and

its nature and solvent.

Keywords: Suzuki-Miyaura, cross-coupling reaction, palladium catalyst, aryl halide,

aryl boronic acid
