Abstract

The present work reports the application of micron-particulate crystalline hexagonal aluminium nitride/aluminium as a novel, mild acidic and reusable solid heterogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis. The catalyst was synthesized by thermal plasma technique and characterized using X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. It catalyzes efficiently many organic transformations such as the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds 2,4,5-triaryl-substituted imidazoles and 2-aryl benzimidazoles.
