4-Hydroxyquinazoline undergoes neutral conditions with alkyl propiolates in the presence of triphenylphosphine (0.26g), and by α substituation the corresponding  2-(4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl acrylate was obtained in good yields.

A rapid and chemoselective method for the N-formylation of structurally diverse anilines with formic acid using nanoalumina sulfonic acid (NASA) at 70oC under solvent-free condition has been developed. The catalyst was found to be compatible with different functional groups and the formylation proceeded smoothly with anilines bearing electron withdrawing as well as electron donating substituents.

A Simple and efficient method for Michael addition of pyrrole and indole to α,β- un saturated compounds has been developed in the presence of oxalic acid under refluxing reaction condition was achieved.

In this project various types of carbonyl compounds were efficiently converted to their corresponding 1,3-oxathiolanes  with 2-mercaptoethanol in the presence of catalytic amount of Al-MCM-41 with microwave energy. The catalyst can be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity. Very short reaction times, reusability of the catalyst, and easy workup are noteworthy advantages of this method.

Phosphosulfonic  acid  as a  multi  solid site  was  easily  prepared  from  the reaction of ammonium  dihydrogen phosphate with chlorosulfonic acid in CCl4and for improved  its  catalytic activity  was  supported  nano Silica was  extracted from  husk  rice  contains  about 95%  of  Silica the  size of  extracted nano silica was  determined  by  SEM  efficiency of  this solid acid in four component condensation reaction of  aromatic aldehydes, dimidone, diketon,  an  ammonium  acetate  was  investigated  the  results  were clearly shown  that  aldehydes  having  electron  withdrawing  and  electron donating groups  were  efficiently  converted  to  the  corresponding Polyhydroqinilion the high  yields  and  short  time   products were produced at 110 0C under solvent free conditions.

D-tartaric acid is successfully used as a green and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under solvent-free conditions. The developed method has many advantages, including devoid of harmful catalyst and solvents, high yield and easily work-up.

Zinc chloride silica gel-supported was found to be an efficient, inexpensive catalyst for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxodecahydroacridines via one-pot three-component condensation of aryl aldehydes, dimedone, andammonium acetate in high yields. The described novel synthetic method propose several advantages of safety, mild condition, short reaction times, high yields, simplicityand easy workup compared to the traditional method of synthesis.
