A novel gold nanoparticle supported periodic mesoporous organosilica with alkylimidazolium framework, Au@PMO-IL, was shown to be a highly active and recyclable catalyst for three-component coupling reaction of aldehyde, alkyne and amine to give the corresponding propargylamine.
In this report, Fe3O4 nanoparticles are modified for the first time with graphene quantum dots (GQD) and used for the stabilization of PdCu bimetallic nanoparticles. The new magnetic compound, PdCu@GQD@Fe3O4, is characterized by different methods such as SEM, high‐resolution (HR)‐TEM, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping, XRD, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This material is applied as an efficient catalyst for the Sonogashira reaction of aryl iodides, bromides, and chlorides in toluene or N,N‐dimethylacetamide at 60–110 °C in very high yields with 0.3 mol % of Pd loading. According to different tests, such as polyvinylpyridine poisoning, hot filtration, and kinetic studies, this catalyst works under heterogeneous conditions. By magnetic separation of the catalyst, it can be recycled for six consecutive runs with only a small decrease in activity without appreciable structural modification of the reused catalyst, which is characterized by TEM and XPS.
A new heterogeneous catalyst derived from gold (III) and supported on caffeine‐coated magnetic nanoparticles, Fe3O4@Caff‐Au, has been prepared and characterized using different techniques. This magnetic gold composite shows high catalytic activity in A3 coupling reactions of terminal alkynes, aldehydes and secondary amines. Using this green catalyst, propargylamines are obtained in high turnover frequency in short reaction times using water as solvent at room temperature. This stable and ready accessible catalyst can be easily recycled magnetically for at least nine consecutive runs without significant loss of activity and with slight aggregation of Au species.
Glycerol and urea were used as green and cheap sources of carbon quantum dots (CQD) for modifying Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs). The obtained CQD@Fe 3 O 4 NPs were used for the stabilization of palladium species and the prepared catalyst, Pd@CQD@Fe 3 O 4 , was characterized using various techniques. This magnetic supported palladium was applied as an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to primary amines at room temperature using very low palladium loading (0.008 mol%) and also for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides as well as challenging heteroaryl bromides and aryl diazonium salts with arylboronic acids and with potassium phenyltrifluoroborate. This magnetically recyclable catalyst was recovered and reused for seven consecutive runs in the reduction of 4-nitrotoluene to p-toluidine and for ten consecutive runs in the reaction of 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid with small decrease of activity. The catalyst reused in the Suzuki reaction was characterized using transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Using experiments such as hot filtration and poisoning tests, it has been shown that the true catalyst works under homogeneous conditions according to the release-return pathway of active palladium species.
Fe3O4 nanoparticles were modified with pyridyl‐triazole ligand and the new magnetic solid was applied for the stabilization of very small and uniform gold nanoparticles. The resulting magnetic material, Fe3O4@PT@Au, was characterized using various methods. These gold nanoparticles on a magnetic support were applied as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the three‐component reaction of amines, aldehydes and alkynes (A3 coupling) in neat water with 0.01 mol% Au loading. Using magnetic separation, this catalyst could be recycled for seven consecutive runs with very small decrease in activity. Characterization of the reused catalyst did not show appreciable structural modification.
