Sulfonated reduced graphene oxide catalyzed cyclization of hydrazides and carbon dioxide to 1,3,4-oxadiazoles under sonication.

ABSTRACT: Acid catalysts facilitate many chemical reactions. Sulfonated reduced grapheneoxide (rGOPhSO₃H) has shown to be an encouraging solid acid catalyst because of its efficiency, cost-effectiveness and safety of use. In this study, we prepared the rGOPhSO₃H nano acid catalyst, with the introduction of aromatic sulfonic acid radicals onto GO by fractional removal of oxygenated functions. It was thoroughly characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and solid state ¹³C MAS NMR (SSNMR). Here we report the conversion of CO₂ (1.0 atm pressure, at = 50 °C, the source of C₁ carbon feed stock) with hydrazides and
