MIL-101(Cr), an Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for One Pot Synthesis of 2,4,5-tri Substituted Imidazoles under Solvent Free Conditions
A chromium-containing metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101 (Chromium(III) benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate), was used to catalyze the one pot, three component synthesis of some 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions. The advantages of using this heterogeneous catalyst include short...
