Abstract
In the present study, the SrCO3@montmorillonite nanocomposite was synthesized by loading Sr(NO3)2 on natural bentonite using a controlled and facile microwave method. The SrCO3@montmorillonite nanoparticles’ characteristics are identified using advanced techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy (IR), energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and pore size distribution analysis. Crossed-aldol condensation of an aromatic aldehyde with cycloalkanone in the presence of these nanoparticles produced α, ά-bis(substituted-benzylidene) cycloalkanones in good yields without using any solvent. The present method is operationally simple and dose not use organic solvent, which makes the process environmentally benign.
Keywords: SrCO3 nanoparticles, solvent free, microwave method, α, α-bis(substituted-benzylidene) cycloalkanone, bentonite, cross-aldol condensation.
