This review highlights the different strategies of modified TiO2 nanostructure as heterogeneous catalyst in organic transformations. The modification in TiO2 nanostructure have been achieved by doping with metal and non-metal, composing with other material such as metals, metal oxides, nonoxides, semiconductor and nanostructure carbon materials. The influence of modification in TiO2 nanostructure on catalytic properties in organic synthesis also discussed. Different modifications of TiO2 extend the catalyst selectivity and reusability over unmodified TiO2 nanoparticles. Recent investigations have shown that modified TiO2 nanostructures utilised as active catalysts or catalyst support in organic transformations including C-C, C-N, C-S, C-O bond formation reactions, multicomponent reactions (MCR), oxidation- reductions.
A current report expresses that Orange Peel Extract use as catalyticmedium for the synthesis of Indoloquinoxaline derivatives from commercially available starting materials. Isatin and O-phenylenediamine in presence of fresh orange peel extractresulted into desired product at room temperature in a given reaction condition. Advantages of this method include greener and cleaner conditions, shorter reaction time, and good to moderate yield of products. A simple one-pot procedure has been developed for the synthesis of Indoloquinoxaline derivatives from readily available starting materials.
[EMIM]AlCl4 (1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate) ionic liquid catalyzed mechanochemically assisted methodology for the Biginelli reaction has been developed successfully. One‐pot, multicomponent reaction between ethyl/methyl acetoacetate, urea/thiourea, and various aromatic/aliphatic and heterocyclic aldehydes in presence of catalytic amount of [EMIM]AlCl4 under grinding conditions in ethanol affords 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2‐(1H)‐one and its thione derivatives. Short reaction time, inclusion of eco‐friendly solvent, moderate to high yield of the product, and operational simplicity are some of the noteworthy features of this protocol. In consequence, the described procedure finds an alternative way to existing methods for the synthesis of the titled compounds.
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.
