Solid catalyst of Ca@Al-Bentonite was prepared by modifying natural bentonite which collected from Bogor, Indonesia via pillarization of Al and wet impregnation of Ca particles. The catalyst was characterized by means of FTIR, XRD, XRF and BET surface area. The catalyst is successful to use for Aldol condensation in chalcone synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
