The catalytic conversion of (ligno)cellulose is currently subject of intense research. Isosorbide is one of the interesting products that can be produced from (ligno)cellulose as it can be used for the synthesis of a wide range of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and polymers. Isosorbide is obtained after the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, followed by the hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol that is then dehydrated to isosorbide. The one-pot process requires an acid and a hydrogenation catalyst. Several parameters are of importance during the direct conversion of (ligno)cellulose such as the acidity, the crystallinity and the particle size of cellulose as well as the nature of the feedstocks. This review highlights all these parameters and all the strategies employed to produce isosorbide from (ligno)cellulose in a one-pot process.

: The synthesis of ester containing heterocyclic compounds via multicomponent reaction is one of the most preferable process in the synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Compounds containing ester linkage have a wide range of biological application in the pharmaceutical field. Therefore, many method have been developed for the synthesis of these type of derivatives. However, some of them are carried out in the presence of toxic solvents and catalysts, with lower yields, longer reaction times, low selectivities and by-products. Thus, the development of new synthetic methods for the ester synthesis is required in the medicinal chemistry. As we know, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are a powerful tool towards the one-pot ester synthesis, so in this article we have reviewed the recent developments in ester synthesis. This work covers selected explanation of methods via multicomponent reactions to explore the methodological development in ester synthesis.

Ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment of lignocellulose is an efficient method for the enhancement of enzymatic saccharification. However, the remaining residues of ILs deactivate cellulase, therefore making intensive biomass washing after pretreatment necessary. This study aimed to develop the one-pot process combining IL pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification by using low-toxic choline acetate ([Ch][OAc]) and IL-tolerant bacterial cellulases. Crude cellulases produced from saline soil inhabited Bacillus sp. CBD2 and Brevibacillus sp. CBD3 were tested under the influence of 0.5–2.0 M [Ch][OAc], which showed that their activities retained at more than 95%. However, [Ch][OAc] had toxicity to CBD2 and CBD3 cultures, in which only 32.85% and 12.88% were alive at 0.5 M [Ch][OAc]. Based on the specific enzyme activities, the sugar amounts produced from one-pot processes using 1 mg of CBD2 and CBD3 were higher than that of Celluclast 1.5 L by 2.0 and 4.5 times, respectively, suggesting their potential for further application in the biorefining process of value-added products.

: Synthesis of isoxazole structural heterocyclic compounds is important due to their wide range of biological activities. In the present article, we report a convenient and easy method for the synthesis of 4-arylmethylidene-3-substituted-isoxazol-5(4H)-ones by the one-pot three-component reaction of aldehydes, β-keto ester, and hydroxylamine hydrochloride cat-alyzed by sulfated tin oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst.

A new multicomponent reaction has been developed between isocyanides, sulfur and alcohols or thiols under mild reaction conditions to afford O-thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates in moderate to good yields. The one-pot reaction cascade involves the formation of an isothiocyanate intermediate, thus a catalyst-free synthesis of isothiocyanates, as valuable building blocks from isocyanides and sulfur is proposed, as well. The synthetic procedure suits the demand of a modern organic chemist, as it tolerates a wide range of functional groups, it is atom economic and easily scalable.

A one-pot approach for the direct synthesis of substituted pyrazoles from isoxazoles is reported. The process involves isoxazole N–O bond cleavage mediated by a molybdenum complex, in situ hydrolysis of the resulting β-amino enone to the corresponding 1,3-diketone, followed by pyrazole formation in the presence of hydrazine or substituted hydrazine. Good to excellent yields and regioselectivities are obtained with nonsymmetric isoxazoles. By using readily available starting materials, a wide range of substituted pyrazoles may be synthesized by this method.

AbstractIn the study, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) of CdSe nanocrystals have been demonstrated effective as the light energy harvesting assemblies in solar cells. Colloidal CdSe QDs were synthesized by the one-pot approach and linked through a surface modifier onto titania (TiO2) nanoparticles. The TiO2-CdSe composite, while employed as the photoanode in a photoelectrochemical apparatus, exhibited a higher photon-to-electron conversion efficiency (3-fold) than the TiO2 alone, and also a higher stability for photocurrent generation, according to photocurrent transient responses. The optical absorbance and photoluminescence of the CdSe colloid showed a blue shift in the absorption edge with decreasing the particle size (band energy gap shifts from 2.0 to 2.19 eV), suggesting a quantum size effect. The CdSe particle size was determined up to 5 nm by a transmission electron microscopy. A scheme describing the charge carrier rectification for the coupled semiconductor system is proposed.

1,2,3-Triazole-4-carbaldehydes are useful synthetic intermediates which may play an important role in the discovery of novel applications of the 1,2,3-triazole moiety. In this work, a one-step multigram scale synthesis of 4-formyl-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (FNPT) as a preferred reagent for the synthesis of 1-alkyl-4-formyltriazoles is described, making use of the commercially available 3-dimethylaminoacrolein and 4-nitrophenyl azide. Next, the earlier reported reaction of FNPT with alkylamines is further explored, and for hexylamine, the one-pot sequential cycloaddition and Cornforth rearrangement is demonstrated. In addition, a useful protocol for the in situ diazotization of 4-nitroaniline is provided. This facilitated the complete hydrolysis of rearranged 4-iminomethyl-1,2,3-triazoles and allowed for the recycling of 4-nitrophenyl azide.
