Magnetically recoverable copper nanoparticle‐loaded natural zeolite (CuNPs/MZN) as an efficient catalyst was synthesized. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were immobilized into the pores of natural clinoptilolite zeolite, which were modified with epichlorohydrine and ethylenediamine species and then CuNPs were decorated on the surface of functionalized zeolite (CuNPs/MZN). The catalysts were successfully characterized by Fourier transform‐infrared, CHN, thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The 1,2,3‐triazoles were readily synthesized through using the catalyst in high yields and short reaction times under ultrasonic conditions via CuAAC reactions of aryl azides and terminal alkynes. The CuNPs/MZN was easily separated from the reaction mixture by an external magnet and reused several times successfully. The catalyst could be used for the synthesis of various organic compounds.
In this reaserch a new and eco-friendly magnetic catalyst for the synthesis of propargylamines is reported. Initial incorporation of Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into the pores of the natural clinoptilolite zeolite followed by modification with epichlorohydrine and ethylenediamine and then immobilization of CuNPs on the surface of functionalized zeolite gave the desired catalyst (CuNPs/MZN). The CuNPs/MZN was fully characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, CHN, TGA, ICP, XRD, SEM, TEM and BET. A host of propargylamines were readily synthesized through using the catalyst in high yields and short reaction times via A 3 and KA 2 coupling reactions of aldehydes/ketones, amines, and phenylacetylene. The CuNPs/MZN was easily separated from the reaction mixture by an external magnet and reused several times successfully. The catalyst has the potential for catalysis of various organic transformations.
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.
