Phytocatalytic Utility of Unripe Banana Peel Water as a Novel Matrix for Benzoylation of Amino Containing Functionality

摘要

We herein reports unripe banana peel water as an alternate medium for benzoylation of aromatic amino containing functionality especially aniline, further concluded that same methodology could be used for benzoylation purposes of other aromatic compounds containing similar functionality. Compared to conventional methodology, the catalytic system we reported here is superior in multiple aspects and devoid of using any non-eco-friendly hazardous organic/ inorganic alkaline matrix.
