| Abstract | Magnesium oxide (MgO) is an excellent base catalyst and its performance is well controlled by its morphology, surface area and surface structures. Here, a simple methodology for the synthesis of porous cesium impregnated MgO (Cs–MgO) nano flakes, with enhanced surface area (156 m2 g−1), basic properties and improved catalytic activity for flavanone synthesis, is presented. The synthesis of Cs–MgO nano flakes is performed through impregnation of CsNO3 on a nesquehonite [Mg(HCO3)OH·2H2O] rod, followed by calcination. During impregnation the metastable nesquehonite rod rehabilitated to hydromagnesite [4 MgCO3. Mg(OH)2·4H2O] flakes. The flakes were porous, constructed by building blocks of small nanoparticles (10–25 nm) with a large number of edges and corners, step edges and step corners and numerous base sites of various strength (surface hydroxyl groups, low coordinate O2− sites). It is observed that the amount of cesium in the MgO surface has a strong effect on its properties as well as its activity. The synthesized Cs–MgO nanoflakes showed significant improvement in the yield of flavanone through the Claisen–Schmidt condensation. A substantial increase in the reaction rate was also observed when DMF was used as a solvent without catalyst deactivation. As much as ∼90% conversion of 2′-hydroxyacetophenone with ∼81% selectivity of flavanone was observed in just 15–20 min using the synthesized 0.5% Cs loaded MgO nanoflakes as a catalyst and DMF as a solvent. The improved catalytic activity of Cs–MgO as a catalyst and the promotion effect of DMF is discussed by studying the interaction of the substrate and the solvent on the catalyst surface and identification of intermediates formed on the catalyst surface under the reaction conditions using FT-IR. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
