Title : A Sustainable Approach for Reductive Formylation of Nitroarenes and N-Heterocyclic Arenes using Formic acid over a CoZn Embedded N?Doped Porous Carbon Catalyst Derived from the ZIF-COF Integration

Abstract:

A highly efficient CoZn embedded N-doped porous carbon (ZnCo-N@C(ZIF-COF)) is prepared by the carbonization of CoZn bimetallic Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) integrated with Covalent organic framework (COF). The synthesized catalyst was investigated in the sustainable reductive formylation of nitro arenes and N-heterocyclic arenes using formic acid which is a bio renewable resources obtained from the biomass. Several control experiments and the detailed catalyst characterizations were conducted to understand the structure activity relationship. The recycling experiment, hot-filtration test, and poisoning experiment demonstrate the ZnCo-N@C(ZIF-COF) is a stable and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst.

Audience take away:

  • This presentation will motivate the researchers and industrialists to work on the synthesis of MOF derived material and metal embedded N-doped carbon-based material.
  • The presentation also highlights the development of low cost, easy to fabricate, and highly active multifunctional catalytic materials for the formylation reaction of aromatic amines and N-heterocyclic arenes.
  • The careful design of a catalyst with defined active sites and their structure active relationship will also be discussed.

Biography:

Ashish Kumar Kar completed his Master of Science (MSc) in Organic Chemistry at Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanja Deo University, Odisha, India in 2015. He joined the Department of Chemistry, IIT Ropar as a junior research fellow (JRF) and began his PhD in Aug 2017. He is currently working on the development of carbon-based materials including MOF, COF, metal/metal oxide-embedded N-doped carbon, etc., for sustainable catalytic and photocatalytic processes. His research contribution also covers catalytic and photocatalytic biomass transformations.
