Nano-CrY zeolite as a new and reusable catalyst for synthesis of 2-aryl-1H-benzothiazoles

The Nano-CrY zeolite synthesized and characterized by Fourier transfer infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD),and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The result show that nano catalyst prepared with mainly particles size about 30-80 nm. The XRD show the structure of the zeolite does not collapse. This Nano-CrY zeolite has been used as new, and nontoxic catalyst for catalyzes of synthesis of 2-aryl-1H-benzothiazoles at mild condition. This procedure is simple, effective, inexpensive and green. The products were obtained in high yields and the catalyst is reusable. Since products were obtained by aqua work-up in good purity, complex purification methods are not necessary.
