The reaction condition was thoroughly optimized thereby allowing significant rate enhancement and resulting into excellent yields. The chemical structures of the successful candidates were confirmed using elemental analytical and spectroscopic data such as IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and some selected mass spectral dataapplication/pdfQD ChemistryArticle
