Greener Solvent-Free Reactions on ZnO

Green synthesis of three substituted methane derivatives by employing ZnO nanoparticles as a powerful and recyclable catalyst

“…As well as, thermal stability and non-toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles in response to the demand for more environmentally benign organic syntheses are other advantages of this catalyst. 20 So far, different classes of organic compounds have been synthesized by utilization of ZnO nanoparticles such as benzoic acids, 21a b-Phosphono malonates, 21b ferrocenyl aminophosphonic esters, 21c polyhydroquinolines, 21d benzimidazoles, 21e pyranyl pyridine derivatives, 21f and etc. In this work, preparation, high activation, and regeneration of ZnO nanoparticles as an ecofriendly and effective catalyst in synthesis of novel organic compounds have been shown.…”
