Abstract

A novel gold nanoparticle supported on graphene oxide with ionic liquid framework (Au@GO-IL) has been shown to be a highly active and recyclable catalyst for novel domino oxidative A³-coupling reaction that has been successfully developed with benzyl alcohols instead of their corresponding aldehydes in aqueous media.
