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 substituentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (different quinolines and benzoquinoline carbaldehydes) on the synthesis of DHPs were studied and related reaction mechanism was proposed.

CuO/TiO2 Nanocomposites: Effect of Calcination on Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production D. Praveen Kumar1, N. Lakshmana Reddy1, M. Mamatha Kumari1, B. Srinivas2, V. Durga Kumari2, M. V. Shankar1* 1

Nano Catalysis and Solar Fuels Research Lab, Department of Materials Science and Nanotechnology, Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa-516003, Andhra Pradesh, India 2 Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Division, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad-500607, Telangana, India

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.g−1cat 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.

Diaminoglyoxime Palladium (II) Chloride As An Efficient Catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction under Aerobic Conditions in H2O/EtOH Solution Ali Reza Faraji1*, HojatVeisi2, Ali Ghardashi2, AntonioGil3 1

Faculty of Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 2 Department of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, 19395-4697 Tehran, Iran 3 Department of Applied Chemistry, Los Acebos Building, Public University of Navarra, Campus of Arrosadia, E-31006, Pamplona, Spain

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 (80â&#x20AC;&#x201C;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
