The fabrication of low-cost, recyclable, reusable, and heterogeneous catalysts is of considerable significance for green chemistry. In this study, a nanocomposite catalyst, MCM-41-supported Zn–Co double metal cyanide (MCM-41@DMC), was prepared using the synchronous dropping method. Thereafter, the c...
