Nanostructured Ni(OH)2–ZnO mixed crystals as recyclable catalysts for the synthesis of N-unsubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles

Abstract

A novel and sustainable way of constructing medicinally active compounds, 4-aryl-1,2,3-(NH)-triazoles, has been developed by employing Ni(OH)₂–ZnO nanostructured mixed crystals. The one-pot multicomponent synthesis giving nanosheet-like reusable catalysts in PEG-400 solvent is quite efficient, economical and can tolerate a wide range of substrates with excellent yields.
