Abstract

Ag–TiO2 nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst was synthesized and characterized by AFM analysis. This nanocomposite acts as a heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst for the room temperature synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles from aldehydes, benzil, ammonium acetate and several anilines or aliphatic amines via one-pot four-component condensation reaction in H2O as a green solvent. Ag–TiO2 nanocomposite was simply recovered by filtration and was reused up to three times.
