Abstract :Due to its straightforward approach, the co-precipitation technique for producing nanomaterials has gained popularity over time. In this study, we employed cadmium nitrate to synthesize cadmium oxide nanomaterials (CdO NPs). The morphology and size of the synthesized CdO NPs were determined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) respectively. To find the functional groups that are present in the nanoparticles and are involved in their decrease and stabilization, a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) study was carried out. Additionally, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was employed to confirm the crystalline nature of the NPs. By utilizing the synthesized catalyst CdO NPs, we successfully synthesized benzoxazole derivatives with improved yields by reacting o-amino phenol with various aldehydes, achieving yields of 90-93%. The structures of the synthesized molecules were characterized using NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Noteworthy advantages of this method include its short reaction time, high product yields, and the catalyst\'s recyclability.
