In this study, for the first time, calix[4]resorcinarene was grafted on the silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-Si) which efficiently catalyze one-pot epoxide ring opening reaction in excellent yields in a very short reaction time. Various advantages associated with this protocol include simple workup procedure, short reaction times, and high product yields. High catalytic activity and ease of recovery, using an external magnetic field, are additional eco-friendly attributes of this catalytic system.
