A comparative investigation of bio-waste derived renewable catalysts for sustainable bis-enol derivative synthesis: transforming waste biomass into value-added products
摘要
The efficient and comparative synthesis of bis-enol derivatives using WEPAPA and WEPPA bio-waste catalysts has been reported in the present study. The catalysts were considered to be economical, recyclable and sustainable. During optimum studies, the percentage yield of the product was above 85% in both the cases. However, in the case of WEPPA catalyst, there was a marginal decrease of 4% in the yield. The reaction was susceptible for the formation of a number of derivatives. The products obtained were removed from reaction mixture using simple filtration technique and did not require any column chromatographic techniques for purification. The products obtained were recrystallized using hot ethanol. The products were identified by the use of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. Both the catalysts were recyclable up to four times maintaining their catalytic efficiency throughout the cycles.
