Zusammenfassung: | Calcium and barium carbonates were synthesized via biologically induced mineralization using Bacillus subtilis. The biogenic materials were characterized by using infrared and Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. These biogenic carbonates were then tested as basic heterogenous catalysts for the solvent-free Knoevenagel reaction between 5-HMF derivatives and active methylene compounds, producing 3-(furan-2-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives in 71–87% yields. Optimal catalytic performance was achieved with a 50:50 Ca:Ba ratio, attributed to the synergistic interaction between baritocalcite and vaterite, which enhances the availability of active basic sites and surface interactions. This method offers operational simplicity, reduced reaction times, good yields, excellent (E)-selectivity, and minimal catalyst loading. |
