• TITLE: Visible Light Induced Knoevenagel Condensation Catalyzed by Starfruit Juice of Averrhoa carambola

  ABSTRACT: Aqueous starfruit juice catalyzed a simple and efficient Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with malononitrile has been developed under visible light. Products were obtained in yields up to 98% after short reaction times and they were isolated by simple filtration in pure crystallization states. The method is green and economically viable. A plausible mechanism for photochemical Knoevenagel condensation reaction catalyzed by starfruit juice was also predicted.
