SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF VANILINE USING COCONUT WATER

The role of naturally available fruit juice in organic synthesis has attracted the interest of chemists. Particularly from the view of Green Chemistry. This review summarizes the versatile synthetic applications of fruits juice as a biocatalyst in different chemical transformation. Coconut water catalyzed reaction including Biginelli Pyramiding Sythesis respectively. Coconut water was used as a biocatalyst for reduction of carbonyl compounds and hydrolysis of ester, amides and anilines. Application of fruit juice as a natural and biocatalyst allows mild and highly selective transformation and synthesis in a facile and environmentally friendly manner. More over fruits are easily available in market and the juice can be easily extracted and can be used as a natural catalyst in organic transformation.
