A boehmite@tryptophan-Pd nanoparticulate catalyst was prepared by a simple, fast and convenient route. The nanomaterial was characterized using various techniques and employed as a thermally stable catalyst for Heck, Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Optimized conditions for these reactions are described. The catalyst could be isolated, post-reaction, by simple filtration and recycled for several consecutive cycles without a notable change in its activity.
Plant derived biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles (NP) has been the recent trend in material science as featured sustainable catalysts. A great deal of the current nanocatalytic research has been oriented on the bio-inspired green catalysts based on their wide applicability. In this context, CuO NPs are synthesized following a green approach using an herbal tea (Stachys Lavandulifolia) flower extract. The phytochemicals contained in it were used asthe internal reductant without applying harsh chemicals or strong heat. The derived nanoparticles also got stabilized by the biomolecular capping. The as-synthesized CuO NPs was characterized over FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, TGA and UV–Vis spectroscopy. These NPs were exploited as a competent catalyst in the aryl and heteroaryl C–heteroatom (N, O, S) cross coupling reactions affording outstanding yields. The nanocatalyst was isolated and recycled in 8 consecutive runs with reproducible catalytic activity. Rigidity of the CuO/S. Lavandulifolia nanocomposite was further justified by leaching test and heterogeneity test.
CoFe2O4@Pr as highly efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst prepared by a simple procedure for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives.
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.
