Abstract
A green and convenient method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13-diones and spiro[dibenzo[a,i]-xanthene-14,3'-indoline]-2',8,13-triones in the presence of a catalytic amount of cellulose sulfuric acid (CSA) as an efficient biopolymer-based catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 100 °C is described. The condensation reactions of β-naphtol, 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione with aldehydes or isatins to afford the corresponding xanthenes in good to excellent yields. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first example of a multicomponent reaction to the synthesis of these compounds using cellulose sulfuric acid. The present approach offers several advantages such as shorter reaction times, simple work-up, excellent yields, non-toxicity of the catalyst, and solvent-free conditions. Moreover, cellulose sulfuric acid is successfully reused for four cycles without significant less of activity.

Ammonium nitrate as an efficient and green reagent for the oxidation of alcohols into their corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of heteropoly acids
Simple, cheap and green protocol for effective conversion of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of H14[NaP5W30O110] and ammonium nitrate is reported. The products were characterized by FT-IR and...
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study of CCR2b receptor inhibitors using SW-MLR and GA-MLR approaches
In this paper, the quantitative structure activity-relationship (QSAR) of the CCR2b receptor inhibitors was scrutinized. Firstly, the molecular descriptors were calculated using the Dragon package. Then, the stepwise mul...
Development and application of a new sensitive spectrophotometric-multivariate calibration method to the simultaneous determination of hydrazine and acetylhydrazine using silver nanoparticles
In this paper, multivariate calibration methods of partial least squares (PLS) and principle component regression (PCR) were investigated in simultaneously determination of hydrazine (HZ) and acetylhydrazine (AHZ). The a...
