Funding informationUniversity of Birjand Cu (II) salen complex immobilized on graphene oxide nanosheets [Cu (II) salen@GO] was synthesized with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilan as a linker and wholly characterized using various techniques like X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, as well as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Cu (II) salen@GO as an effective heterogeneous catalyst has been investigated for the Sonogashira coupling reaction in dimethylsulfoxide with good to high yield (98%) in 4 hr at 110°C when the loading of Cu was 0.7 mmol g −1 based on Cu element analysis by AAS. It was understood that heterogeneous catalyst was as active as its homogeneous analog, and presented good recoverability and no significant loss in activity within successive runs.
DBUH-Br 3 catalyzed selective conversion of sulfides to sulfoxides in the presence of H 2 O 2 as oxidizing agent is described. The reaction was performed selectively at room temperature and relatively short reaction times.
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.
