Environmental benign catalyst developed by fruit waste for synthesis of β-amino alcohol with the optimum combination through statistical analysis

An Eco-catalysis approach reported in this manuscript, is developed by the kinnow peel waste as the green catalyst for the ring opening of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines and its derivatives. The prepared green catalyst is used in three different variants i.e. kinnow peel powder (KPP), Bare component, and ash of KPP. Prepared catalyst characterized by TEM, SEM-EDX, FTIR, TGA, and XRD. Statistical analysis is a full factorial analysis of variance technique to identify the optimum combinations of types of catalyst, catalyst quantity, and derivative type.
