An efficient method for preparation of aryl nitriles is reported using Cu(I) to catalyse the reaction of aryl diazonium silica sulfates with sodium cyanide under mild conditions at room temperature in water. This method has the advantages of high yields, simple methodology, short reaction times and easy work-up.
The Fe3O4 magnetic particles were modified with 1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐diol (Phen) and the related Mn complex (Fe3O4@Phen@Mn) synthesized as a heterogeneous catalyst to be used for the one‐pot three‐component synthesis of various tetrazoles. The catalysts were characterized by several methods, such as the elemental analysis, FT‐IR, X‐ray powder diffraction, dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric‐differential thermal analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the catalyst and its Phen ligand were in vitro screened with 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl by free radical scavenging methods. Results showed that the synthesized compounds possess strong antioxidant activity (IC50; 0.172 ± 0.005 mg ml−1) as well as a good antibacterial potential in comparison to standards.
Despite various methods for preparation of tetrazoles, they are suffering from some disadvantages such as low yield, long reaction times and harsh reaction conditions, and there are still high demands to improve the common procedures to solve problems. So, the new copper nanocatalyst was prepared by coating of the Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles with tetraethyl orthosilicate, functionalization with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane and 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole ligands as well as the subsequent complexation with CuCl 2 . The obtained catalyst was then characterized by different methods (ICP, XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM, TG-DTA and VSM) and applied as a heterogeneous nano-catalyst for the synthesis of diverse tetrazoles from the reaction of various aromatic amines with sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in solvent-free condition at 100°C in good to high yields.ARTICLE HISTORY
