Chitosan Capped Copper Oxide Nanocomposite: Efficient, Recyclable, Heterogeneous Base Catalyst for Synthesis of Nitroolefins

In this article, chitosan copper oxide nanocomposite was synthesized by the solution casting method under microwave irradiation. The irradiated at 300 watt for 3 min optimal irradiation conditions. By suppressing particle agglomeration, matrix successfully used as a metal stabilizer. goal of research to create, characterize, and test catalytic potency these hybrid nanocomposites in number well-known organic processes. prepared CS-CuO were analyzed different techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Moreover, energy-dispersive (EDS) measure content film. finger-print peaks FTIR spectrum around 632–502 cm−1 confirmed existence CuO phase. has been shown be an efficient base promoter nitroolefin synthesis via nitroaldol reaction (Henry reaction) high yields. variables studied improve approach. Higher yields, shorter times, milder conditions are all advantages technique, is catalyst’s reusability several uses.
