These catalytic condensation reactions represent green chemical processes and ZnO nanoparticles catalyst is cost-effective, easy to handle, and easily removed from the reaction mixtures and also, ZnO nanoparticles catalyst was found to be highly efficient, eco-friendly and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the multicomponent reaction of dimedone, aromatic aldehydes, and a nitrogen source (ammonium acetate or aromatic amines) under solvent-free conditions, giving rise to 1,8-dioxodecahydroacridines in high yields.
