Abstract

In this work, anatase-phase nano-titania was prepared by embedding in rice husk ash, and identified using a variety of techniques. The obtained nanocomposite (RHA/TiO2) was used as a green and inexpensive catalyst for the promotion of the acetylation of alcohols, phenols and amines with Ac2O at room temperature under solvent free conditions. The procedure gave the products in excellent yields during all reaction times. Also this catalyst can be reused for several times without loss of its catalytic activity.
