	abstract = {A simple protocol for the selective azidation of alcohols is developed using a solid acid hybrid of a povidone and phosphotungstic acid (PVP-PWA) using azidotrimethylsilane as an azide source at room temperature. In a broad substrate scope, various activated as well as unactivated benzylic and diphenyl alcohols were treated smoothly with TMS-N-3 to selectively produce only azide products with excellent yields in a very short reaction time of 2 h. FT-IR confirmed the stability of the catalyst with retention of the Keggins structure after the reaction. Recycling experiments demonstrated the reusability of the PVP PWA (3:1) several times without losing its original activity.},

	abstract = {We report here the facile, room temperature, catalyst free, one pot synthesis of aliphatic bridged diaryloxy compounds, cyclic and crown ethers. Anhydrous potassium carbonate (K2CO3) as a mild base along with dimethyl sulfoxide generates the phenoxide ion which facilitates the nucleophilic substitution of bromoalkanes to yield the corresponding crown ethers.},
