Abstract

The work described herein employs neutral alumina as an effective catalyst for ring opening of triarylpyrylium perchlorates to corresponding aromatic cyanodienones, which have main roles in biological activities. The present porous catalyst has several advantages, it is inexpensive, thermally and mechanically stable, nontoxic, and highly resistant against organic solvents. It increases the reaction rate many fold when compared with conventional ...
