| Title: Exploration of CSC as Green catalyst for Organic Transformation | |
| Abstract:
One of the major current challenges before chemists is to develop synthetic methods that are less polluting, i.e., to design clean or ‘green’ chemical transformations. The problem has become more acute in recent times and has received wider attention because of our better understanding of the causes of environmental degradation. Industries and scientific organizations have put clean technology as an important R & D concern. The area of chemistry, which is particularly directed to achieve such goals, is termed as ‘green chemistry’ and is defined, according to an US award program, to be one that ‘encompasses all aspects and types of chemical processes – including synthesis, catalysis, analysis, monitoring, separations and reaction conditions – that reduce impacts on human health and the environment relative to the current state of the art. In achieving many of these goals, catalysts help the synthetic chemist in a big way. An important family of catalysts that has received considerable attention of the synthetic chemist in recent times is derived from the soil, the most noteworthy ones being clays and zeolites. Clays are solid acidic catalysts which can function as both Bronsted and Lewis acids in their natural and ion-exchanged form. Using clay catalysts, environmentally benign green chemistry can be done both at industrial level and laboratory scale. Cu -Clay has developed into trendy heterogeneous catalyst in our group owing to its characteristic properties such as enhanced reactivity, selectivity and a straight forward work-up procedure.
