A Green Synthesis of Xanthenone Derivatives in Aqueous Media Using TiO2-CNTs Nanocomposite as an Eco-Friendly and Re-Usable Catalyst

摘要

Aim and Objective: The xanthene (dibenzopyran) framework constitutes the core structure of many biologically active compounds, that they have been of interest because of their pharmacological activities like antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and CCR1 antagonist. As heterogeneous catalysts offer several advantages over homogeneous catalysts, the performance of reactions on the surface of nanosized heterogeneous salts has received a great deal of interest in recent years. In the area of nanosized heterogeneous catalysts there is a noticeable range of reactions that are catalyzed efficiently by TiO2 NPs. Moreover, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a support can be used to obtain nanoparticles with modified morphology, structural, chemical, electrical, and optical properties. The catalytic activity of titanium dioxide supported on carbon nanotubes has been greatly improved.
