Abstract

A convenient, eco-friendly and economic method for Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds using calcined eggshell (CES) as an efficient natural catalyst in aqueous medium has been reported. CES is a new, ecologically safe and inexpensive green catalyst obtained from renewable resources.

A convenient, eco-friendly and economic method for Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds using CES as an efficient natural catalyst in aqueous medium has been reported here. CES is a new, ecologically safe, inexpensive and green catalyst obtained from waste eggshells.
