And the article was published in Catalysis Letters in 2019. Category: ethers-buliding-blocks The author mentioned the following in the article:
An efficient, inexpensive and recyclable graphene oxide/strontium nanocatalyst was synthesized and applied in a pseudo three-component, one-pot cyclocondensation of aromatic aldehydes and dimedone/lawsone to afford the corresponding 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-aryl-3,4,5,6,7,9-hexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-diones and 13-aryl-5H-dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-5,7,12,14(13H)-tetraones (e.g., I and II, resp.) in high yields under solvent-free conditions. To the best of our knowledge, there are no literature reports on applying graphene oxide/strontium as a nanocatalyst for xanthene derivatives synthesis. The key potential benefits of the present method are including high yields, short reaction time, easy workup, recyclability of catalyst and ability to tolerate a variety of functional groups which gives economical as well as ecol. rewards. The nanocatalyst easily separated from the reaction mixture easily by applying an external magnet and reused at least six times without noticeable degradation in catalytic activity.2-Methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 135-02-4Category: ethers-buliding-blocks) was used in this study.
2-Methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 135-02-4) is used as a flavor agent in foods including nonalcoholic/alcoholic beverages, baked goods, chewing gum, confections, frozen dairy, fruit ices, hard/soft candy, instant coffee, tea, Jams, jellies, and milk products. It also has been used to obtain good enantioselectivities using Cu(OAc)(2)-bis(oxazolines) via hydrogen bonding in asymmetric Henry reaction.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks
