A novel magnetic nanoparticle supported dual acidic ionic liquid catalyst was synthesized by anchoring 3-sulfobutyl-1-(3-propyltriethoxysilane) imidazolium hydrogen sulfate onto the surface of silica-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. Due to the combination of nano-support features and flexible imidazolium linkers, it acted as a "quasi-homogeneous" catalyst to effectively catalyze the one-pot synthesis of benzoxanthenes by a three-component condensation of dimedone with aldehyde and 2-naphthol under solvent-free conditions. More importantly, the catalyst could be easily recovered by an external magnet and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
A novel magnetic nanoparticle-supported nano-palladium catalyst was successfully prepared via a ''click'' route. The as-prepared catalyst was well characterized and evaluated in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in terms of activity and recyclability in aqueous ethanol. It was found to be highly efficient for the reactions of various aryl bromides with arylboronic acids under phosphine-free and low Pd loading (0.2 mol%) conditions. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction system by an external magnet and reused several times without a remarkable loss of its activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
