The application of Triton-B adsorbed on flyash (a waste material of thermal plants) has been reported for the variety of base catalysed reactions such as synthesis of cinnamic acids by Deobner reaction, synthesis of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenylpent-4-ene-1, 3-diones by Baker-Venkataraman reaction and synthesis of 3-carboxycoumarins by knoevenagel reaction. This material also acts as a support for the reaction and avoids the use of any solvent in the reaction maintaining the norms of Green Chemistry.
