Abstract

The potential catalytic application of MOFs like [Cu3 (btc) 2](btc= 1, 3, 5- benzenetricarboxylate),[Cu (bdc)](bdc= 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate),[Cu (pymo) 2](pymo= 2- hydroxypyrimidinalote) and [Cu (im) 2](im= imidazolate) was explored in the hydroxylation and nitration of aryl halides. Cu3 (btc) 2 was found to be superior for both the reactions furnishing good to excellent yields of the respective products. The studies demonstrated ...
