Synthesis and characterization of Nickel Aluminate-innovative a green path with solid acid catalyst for solvent free acylation reaction

This study explores the development and application of a novel solid acid catalyst, mesoporous nickel aluminate, for the acylation of resorcinol. Solid acid catalysts are gaining significant traction in industrial organic synthesis due to their powerful acidic properties and heterogeneous nature, which eliminates the need for a separate neutralization step. The synthesized mesoporous nickel aluminate was comprehensively characterized. Subsequently, we evaluate the catalytic performance of the synthesized material in the acylation of resorcinol. The investigation optimizes reaction parameters such as solvent selection, temperature, and catalyst loading, with the detailed findings presented in this work.
