Abstract

Nano-silica sulfuric acid as a heterogeneous, eco-friendly and reusable catalyst was used in the synthesis of 1,3,5-triarylbenzenes via triple-self condensation of acetophenones. All reactions were performed under solventfree conditions and microwave irradiation. Short reaction times, high yields, easy isolation and purification of products and good reusability of this catalyst are the mainspring to choose for the preparation of 1,3,5-triarylbenzenes. © Iranian Chemical Society 2012.
