Efficient, Recyclable, and Heterogeneous Base Nanocatalyst for Thiazoles with a Chitosan-Capped Calcium Oxide Nanocomposite.

ABSTRACT: Calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles have recently gained much interest in recent research due to their remarkable catalytic activity in various chemical transformations. In this article, a chitosan calcium oxide nanocomposite was created by the solution casting method under microwave irradiation. The microwave power and heating time were adjusted to 400 watts for 3 min. As it suppresses particle aggregation, the chitosan (CS) biopolymer acted as a metal oxide stabilizer. In this study, we aimed to synthesize, characterize, and investigate the catalytic potency of chitosan-calcium oxide hybrid nanocomposites in several organic transformations. The produced CS-CaO nanocomposite was analyzed by applying different analytical techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X
