Molybdate sulfuric acid (MSA) and silica sulfuric acid (SSA) has been prepared and used as efficient solid catalysts for the synthesis of gem-bisamides and bisurides via the one-pot three-component reaction of two moles of amides, nitriles, carbamates or urea with aldehydes. The catalytic efficiency of SSA, MSA, or H2SO4 98% per H+ sites as turnover number (TON), turnover frequency (TOF), and atomic economy (AE) was calculated and compared for quantitative evaluation of catalysts. The AE, TON, and TOF factors show the superiority of the SSA versus MSA and H2SO4. Short reaction times, simple work-up, chemoselectivity, low loading, and reusability of solid acid catalysts are extra advantages than current methods reported in the literature with corrosive acidic catalysts.

N,N'-(Arylmethylene) bisamides were prepared by an acidcatalyzed reaction of arylaldehydes with cinnamamide or acrylamides. The reaction was carried out in refluxing toluene for a few hours, and simple collection of the precipitate gave the desired products. The bisamides were designed as cytotoxic molecules based on the structure of the potently cytotoxic marine natural product (-)-zampanolide. The activities of the bisamides against two cancer cell lines were evaluated, and several compounds were found to show medium potency with IC50 values in the lower micromolar level.
