Abstract

Nano-γ-Al2O3/SbCl5 as a new Lewis acid nano catalyst was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, XRD, FESEM, TEM, EDS, BET and TGA techniques. Nano-γ-Al2O3/SbCl5 has been employed for synthesis of 2-substituted perimidines via reaction of naphthalene-1,8-diamine with various aldehydes at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. This protocol proffers several benefits including high yields, easy workup, short reaction times and simple reaction conditions.
