[ 1 ] - An efficient green synthesis of highly substituted imidazoles catalyzed by Al-MCM-41 nanoreactors

Al-MCM-41 nanoreactors is found to be a remarkable efficient catalyst for one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation of benzil, aniline or ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions. The reaction was efficiently promoted by 10 mg nano-Al-MCM-41 and the heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for four runs in this reaction with...
