“…Keivanloo et al exploited SiO 2 /ZnBr 2 for the synthesis of ynones 31 by cross-coupling of acid chloride with terminal alkynes and synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-(NH)-triazoles. 32 Moreover, Kodomari and co-workers 33 also reported the synthesis of triarylmethanes and 9,10-diarylanthracenes and Clark et al 34 reported bromination of aromatic substrate using SiO 2 /ZnBr 2 catalyst. The catalyst possesses inherent environmentally benevolent properties such as non-toxicity, biocompatibility, physiological inertness, recyclability, inexpensiveness and thermal stability.…”
