A series of titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl)sulfonate complexes were synthesized, characterized, and applied in various C–C bond forming reactions.
In this research, nano magnetic sulfated zirconia was prepared through a green and facile method and acted as a novel, heterogeneous, efficient nano-catalyst for the one-pot three component synthesis of α-aminonitrile derivatives.
Aqueous formic acid (37%) was effectively used as catalyst in Strecker reaction to afford α-aminonitriles and imines in high yields.
