Comparison of the catalyst: We have compared our results with previously reported catalysts just to compare its efficiency. The result of coupling of 4-chlorobezaldehyde with urea and ethylaceto acetate with previously reported procedure in literature (Table 1).The catalyst showed comparable yield as compared to other catalyst. As compared to FeCl3 (Entry 9) which is homogeneous catalyst, this catalyst is giving better result.
