Abstract

We report the preparation of graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs), a metal-free, heterogeneous, non-toxic, reusable and mesoporous green-(acid)-catalyst obtained by sugar carbonization through a micro-wave chemical synthesis method for the synthesis of bio-active benzylpyrazolyl coumarin derivatives (BCDs) under thermal conditions (50 °C) in ethanol solvent. The obtained products were purified by re-crystallization from ethanol, assuring usability of GONPs in multicomponent reactions (MCRs) that could find wide application in the synthesis of a variety of biologically potent molecules of therapeutic significance.
