Catalytic synthesis of 2-(N-benzyl-N-phenylamino) phenol by mesoporous Pd-doped TiO2: an environmentally benign approach

Abstract

A facile and environmentally route for catalytic Synthesis of 2-(N-benzyl-N-phenylamino) phenol under UV irradiation conditions has been developed in the presence of a catalytic amount of mesoporous Pd-doped TiO2 (Pd/TiO2) based on a ionic liquid process to fabricate. The particles were characterized with XRD, TEM and XPS. The FT-IR and HNMR spectra confirmed the expected function groups and the structure of 2-(N-benzyl-N-phenylamino) phenol synthesized.
