Abstract
In the present work, a green, rapid, convenient and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles is described. In this method, we used 1,2-diketone or α-hydroxy ketone, an aldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of graphene oxide–chitosan bionanocomposite, which acted as an efficient nanocatalyst. This protocol has many advantages such as short reaction time, high yield, easy separation of the catalyst and solvent-free condition. We used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to confirm that the nanocomposite was formed, and FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR analyses were performed for the confirmation of the synthesized products.
