	abstract = {<p>The Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2{\textquoteright}-hydroxy acetophenone and benzaldehyde to chalcone and flavanone show that calcined Zn-Al (6) hydrotalcite is active for this synthesis. Coating of ionic liquid {\textquoteleft}1-(tri-ethoxy-silyl-propyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride{\textquoteright} on Zn-Al hydrotalcites was accomplished employing incipient wetness process and on NaY, NaX, MK-5 and silica gel employing co-condensation methodology. Impregnated IL on calcined Zn-Al (6) catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET, (13)C and (27)Al NMR analysis and the activity of these catalysts were investigated for chalcone and flavanone synthesis. (27)Al CP MAS NMR technique was used to show that interaction of IL with hydrotalcite modifies the acid-base sites and is responsible for enhancement of catalyst activity. Several aromatic aldehydes were screened to assess the general applicability of the system. (c) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Transesterification of dimethyl carbonate with glycerol has been investigated using various ionic liquids as catalysts. Synthesis of glycidol with high selectivity (78\%) has been achieved using tetramethylammonium hydroxide ([TMA][OH]) as a catalyst at 80 degrees C. Effect of various reaction conditions on the activity and selectivity was investigated and catalyst concentration had a significant influence on conversion as well as selectivity to glycidol. Activity as well as selectivity of the catalyst decreased significantly with increase in moisture content. Recycle experiment indicated slight drop in glycerol conversion and selectivity to glycidol because of dilution of reaction mixture and also the presence of products from the initial experiment.
