Abstract

BF3/nano-sawdust as a green, inexpensive, natural, biodegradable and readily available biopolymer solid acid catalyst was synthesized and characterized. This catalystwas used successfully for the synthesis of various tri-substituted imidazoles in high yields under solvent free conditions.
