“…A large variety of catalysts have been reported by chemists in the recent decades like Al 2 O 3 , KF-Al 2 O 3 , K 10 -ZnCl 2 , Silica gel, USY-Zeolites, I 2 -K 2 CO 3 , Xonothite, Diammonium hydrogen phosphate, Basic-ionic liquid, ZnCl 2 , K 3 PO 4 , CTMAB, Zn(OAc) 2 , Poly urethane etc. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The Knoevenagel condensation is carried out in presence of bases as catalysts like amine, ammonia and their salts including TiCl 4 , LiCl, ZnO, MgO, ZrO 4 , Trizma, MgO nanoparticles, Fe(acac) 3 , Fe 2 O 3 @SiO 2 -PEG/en, MgO-NPs and Na 2 CaP 2 O 7 as catalysts. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] However, these reported bases as catalysts led to various environmental issues, requires intense energy and specific conditions to occur.…”
