Operational simplicity, practicability and applicability to various substrates make this method an interesting alternative to previously applied procedures. From the environmental standpoint, this eco-friendly green catalyst is stable, highly active, easy to prepare and handle.}, number={3}, journal={Iranian Journal of Catalysis}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Safari, Javad and Zarnegar, Zohre and Naseh, Simin and Akbari, Zahra}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Heterogeneous catalyst, SiO2-OSbCl2, Lewis acid, Imidazoles, Sonication.} }
