Chitosan was modified through the hydrogel synthesis route and its catalytic activity was evaluated for the synthesis of jasminaldehyde by the condensation of 1-heptanal with benzaldehyde under solvent-free conditions. Chitosan being natural product and also the solvent-free synthesis procedure of jasminaldehyde have the advantage of green catalysis. Maximum conversion of >99% and 88% selectivity to jasminaldehyde were obtained at 160°C. The effect of reaction parameters such as the amount of the catalyst, temperature and the benzaldehyde to 1-heptanal molar ratio on the conversion and selectivity was studied. The catalyst was recycled up to six times without significant loss in its activity and selectivity.
