Cinnamomum tamala leaf extract-mediated green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles and their use in pyranopyrazles synthesis

A novel, biochemical, and eco-friendly method has been developed for the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles using an aqueous leaf extract of readily accessible Cinnamomum tamala as reducing and stabilizing agents. These Ag nanoparticles were used to catalyze the synthesis of pyranopyrazoles. The green nature and ease of recovery and reusability of the catalyst, together with high yields of products, make this protocol attractive and useful.
