A green, efficient, chemoselective, facile and clean procedure is described and discussed for the synthesis of α, α’-bis (substituted-benzylidene) cycloalkanones in solvent-free conditions. The condensation reaction was carried out through the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with cycloalkanones in the presence of Fe3O4@WO3 (Fe3O4@WO3-EAE-SO3H (III)) nanoparticles as the catalyst. The nanostructured catalyst with the spherical shape, […]
