Publication date: Available online 6 December 2018Source: Journal of Saudi Chemical SocietyAuthor(s): Venu Kandula, Uppu Nagababu, Manoranjan Behera, Satyanarayana Yennam, Anindita ChatterjeeAbstractAg nanoparticles (AgNPs) catalyst material is bio-synthesized and fully examined using various spectroscopy and microscopy techniques. Further this synthesized material is used for hydroxylation reaction, for this purpose we developed a simple and versatile bio-based method from aryl boronic acids to phenol. The reaction was studied in presence of low cost ligand in a hydrated reaction medium without any hazardous organic solvents, as a result a finite amount of yield was achieved in short time (<15 min). The hydroxylation reaction is further carried out in a series of different arenes substituted samples with good amount of yields.Graphical abstract
