Co 3 O 4 and Eu-doped Co 3 O 4 nanocatalysts were synthesized through an ultrasonic-assisted solvothermal method and were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) methods. Spinel cubic crystalline system for synthesized nanocatalysts was confirmed with XRD, whereas the spherical morphology of Co 3 O 4 changed to nanorods after Eu 3+ doping, which was affirmed with FESEM micrographs. Catalytic performance of the nanomaterials was examined through the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzochromenes using aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and β-naphthol condensation under solvent-free conditions and microwave irradiation. Mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, simple setup, using an affordable catalyst, and high-quality products were some of the advantages of this procedure. The efficiency for Eu-doped nanocatalyst was achieved by about 96%. K E Y W O R D S 2-amino-4H-benzochromenes, Co 3 O 4 , Eu-doped Co 3 O 4 , nanocatalyst, solvent-free synthesis
