“…For this purpose, silica sulfuric acid (SSA), as a mild, inexpensive, efficient, reusable, environmentally safe and solid heterogeneous acid catalyst or promoter, could be used. SSA have frequently been used for many organic transformations because of its low cost, ease of preparation, catalyst recycling, ease of handling and easy separation from reactants and products [19][20][21][22][23][24]. SSA can enhance the reactivity and selectivity of many types of reaction, such as oxidation [25], carboncarbon bond formation for example aldol and Knovenagel condensation [26,27], Friedel-Crafts alkylation [28], Beckmann rearrangement [29], cycloaddition [30], aromatization [31] protection [32] and deprotection [33].…”
