Zncl2@MWCNTs nanocomposite as an efficient and reusable catalyst for direct regioselective ortho C-acylation of phenolic compounds under solvent-free and microwave conditions

In this research, the ortho C-acylation of some phenol and naphthol derivatives was catalyzed by ZnCl2, supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a new nanocomposite Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction was performed under solvent-free and microwave conditions. In the presence of this heterogeneous...
