Abstract

According to a recent study, zeolite is used in amazing ways for the synthesis of organic compounds. Green method for producing 1-phenyl naphthalene and its derivatives from a small amount of benzoyl propionic acid (BPA). A green reagent like nanozeolite is used in the friedel craft reaction after the preparation of the precursor -BPA. In place of anhydrous aluminium chloride, it is crystalline sodium aluminium silicate hydrate hydrochloride after treatment with -TEA. The traditional approach involves condensing benzene and succinicanhydride with activated Nanozeolite, working up the reaction to get the desired product, and then recycling the catalyst. BPA was produced by an ultrasonic process. It was reduced to two steps: first, acylation utilising active nanozeolite and ultrasonication; second, hydrolysis; and third, catalyst recycling. When compared to conventional synthesis, it has been found that using a sonicator produces a higher yield while using less energy
