Easy single-step preparation of ZnO nano-particles by sedimentation method and studying their catalytic performance in the synthesis of 2-aminothiophenes via Gewald reaction
Tayebee, Reza Javadi, Farzad Argi, Gholamreza
Zinc oxide is a multi-purpose active material with important catalytic applications. In this study, nano-sized ZnO particles were easily synthesized through sedimentation of zinc acetate di-hydrate in absolute ethanol and were characterized by XRD and SEM. The XRD results indicated pure wurtzite structure with the average particle size of 26.9 nm for the nano-particles. It was observed that size of ZnO nano-particles was decreased while solution concentration was increased. This observation would be explained considering enhancing nucleation processes of nano-particles at high concentration of zinc acetate. The prepared nano-particles (2.5 mol%) were used as catalyst for the fast and efficient synthesis of 2-aminothiophenes under solvent free conditions. The three-component mixture of a carbonyl compound, malonodinitrile, and elemental sulfur was converted into the corresponding 2-aminothiophene in moderate to high yields with excellent selectivity.

This study demonstrates ED-UiO-66 as a novel and effective solid nanoporous basic catalyst prepared through the amine grafting onto the pores of UiO-66. The manufactured nanoparticles were identified by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, FESEM, TEM, CHN and BET and the characterization results certified formation of a single phase nanoporous substance with the medium grain size less than 90?nm. The synthesized material was employed as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 2-aminotiophenes through the Gewald method. This thermochemically stable nanocatalyst was environmentally safe, reusable and economic. Therefore, this methodology can be simply extended for industrial goals.
