Fe3O4@Glycerol-Cu as a novel heterogeneous magnetic nanocatalyst for the green synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes

Abstract

In the present study, the Fe3O4@Glycerol-Cu complex supported magnetically as a nanoparticle was prepared by grafting. Firstly, Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized by FeCl3.6H2O and FeCl2.4H2O according to the reported method, and subsequently, the prepared MNP with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane. After that, the support-glycerol was functionalized on the surface of MNP-(CH2)3Cl for graft and stabilization of copper metal. Our purpose is to use the Fe3O4@Glycerol-Cu as a green, recoverable, novel, and affordable nanocatalyst in the effective synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes. FT-IR, XRD, TGA, BET, VSM, TEM, and SEM–EDX techniques were examined to characterize this nanocatalyst. This result demonstrates that copper and organic compounds have appropriately reacted, with the support of MNP-(CH2)3Cl, and the crystalline structure have preserved in the MNP-(CH2)3Cl/Glycerol-Cu nanocatalyst confirmed the formation of the base Cu complex grafted on the surface of the nanoparticles. Finally, as can be seen, the nanoparticle size is 5–15 nm. This heterogeneous nanocatalyst illustrated excellent recyclable behavior, and can be used several times without notable reduction of its activity.

Hydrothermal fabrication of novel nanocomposites Mx‐MoO3‐α‐NaFe2(MoO4)3‐α‐FeMoO4 (M = Al, Co, Ni, and Er) for highly efficient catalytic synthesis of 5‐aryl‐1H‐tetrazole analogs

“…For example, the tetrazole compound derived from proline is a ligand that can be utilized as a catalyst in multi‐component reactions (MCRs) 20 . MCRs are extremely employed as an approved procedure due to their high efficiency, their high atom economy, and their selective bond establishments to prepare variants of heterocyclic compounds 21–25 . Moreover, some heterogeneous catalysts have been introduced to fabricate substitute tetrazoles 26–30 .…”
