Abstract

Abstract A simple and green protocol, developed utilizing an efficient, heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst, ie zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)-mediated synthesis of N- arylhomophthalimides and benzannelated isoquinolinones, is reported. The structures of the desired products were characterized by FTIR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and HRMS techniques. The ZnO NPs exhibited excellent catalytic activity and the proposed methodology is ...
