New Acetamidine Cu(II) Schiff base complex supported on magnetic nanoparticles pectin for the synthesis of triazoles using click chemistry

In this project, the new catalyst copper defines as Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) was successfully manufactured and fully characterized by different techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, TEM, FESEM, EDX, VSM, TGA, and ICP analysis. All results showed that copper was successfully supported on the polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles. One of the most important properties of a catalyst is the ability to be prepared from simple materials such as pectin that's a biopolymer that is widely found in nature. The catalytic activity of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) was examined in a classical, one pot, and the three-component reaction of terminal alkynes, alkyl halides, and sodium azide in water and observed, proceeding smoothly and completed in good yields and high regioselectivity. The critical potential interests of the present method include high yields, recyclability of catalyst, easy workup, using an eco-friendly solvent, and the ability to sustain a variety of functional groups, which give economical as well as ecological rewards. The capability of the nanocomposite was compared with previous works, and the nanocomposite was found more efficient, economical, and reproducible. Also, the catalyst can be easily removed from the reaction solution using an external magnet and reused for five runs without reduction in catalyst activity.

Supported Palladium Catalyzed Carbonylative Coupling Reactions using Carbon Monoxide as C1 Source

The carbonylative reactions of aryl halides, boronic acids, amines, activated alkene and alkynes under CO and supported palladium catalyzed conditions are very popular reactions for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, pharmaceuticals, polymers, peptides, intermediates and fine chemicals synthesis. Due to cost effectiveness and easy handling of recyclable supported palladium catalyst, it became more popular among researchers either working in academic institute or industry. In recent years, irrespective of poisoning effect of CO with palladium as major limitation, several advancements have been done through surface selection, designing and condition improvement to achieve high yield in the area of carbonylative coupling reactions. We hope this review will be helpful as a ready reference of last 20 years in the field of CO insertion reactions using diverse range of supported palladium catalysts under carbon monoxide or its sources as C1 source.

Robust, highly active, and stable supported Co(ii) nanoparticles on magnetic cellulose nanofiber-functionalized for the multi-component reactions of piperidines and alcohol oxidation

The new recyclable cobalt three-core magnetic catalyst obtained by anchoring a Schiff base ligand sector and cellulose nanofiber slings on MNP (Fe3O4) was prepared and named as MNP@CNF@ATSM-Co(ii). Separately, MNPs and CNF have adsorbent properties of great interest. In this way, this catalyst was designed to synthesize piperidine derivatives under solvent-free conditions and alcohol oxidation reactions in EtOH as the solvent. It should be noted that this catalyst is environmentally safe and does not need an external base. This MNPs@CNF@ATSM-Co(ii) separable catalyst has been evaluated using various characterization techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, EDS, ICP, TGA, DLS, HRTEM, and VSM. The catalyst was compatible with a variety of benzyl alcohols, benzaldehydes, and amines derivatives, and gave complimentary coupling products with sufficient interest for all of them. The synergistic performance of Co (trinuclear) in the catalyst was demonstrated and its different homologs such as MNPs, MNPs@CNF, MNPs@CNF@ATS-Co(ii), and MNPs@CNF@ATSM-Co(ii) were separately synthesized and applied to a model reaction, and then their catalytic activity was investigated. Also, the performance of these components for the oxidation reaction of alcohols was evaluated. The advantages of the current protocol include the use of a sustainable and safe low temperature, eco-friendly solvent no additive, and long-term stability and magnetic recyclability of the catalyst for at least five successive runs, thus following green chemistry principles. This protocol is a benign and environment-friendly method for oxidation and heterocycle synthesis. This powerful super-magnetic catalyst can use its three arms to advance the reactions, displaying its power for multi-component reactions and oxidation.

Recent progress in application of nanocatalysts for carbonylative Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

In the past few decades, cross-coupling of aryl halides and arylboronic acids in the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), also called carbonylative Suzuki coupling, to form two new carbon-carbon bonds in the production of synthetically and biologically important biaryl ketones, has been widely studied. Consequently, various catalytic systems have been extensively investigated in order to maximize the efficiency of this appealing area of biaryl ketone synthesis. As evidenced in the literature, nanometal-based systems are among the most powerful catalysts for this transformation as their large surface area to volume ratio and reactive morphologies allow faster reaction rates under milder CO pressure even at very low catalyst loadings. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent advances and achievements in the application of nano-sized metal catalysts for carbonylative Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, which may serve as an inspiration to researchers in their future work.

Design and synthesis of magnetic Fe3O4@NFC-ImSalophCu nanocatalyst based on cellulose nanofibers as a new and highly efficient, reusable, stable and green catalyst for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles

The Fe3O4@NFC-ImSalophCu catalyst was used as a highly stable, reusable, active, green catalyst for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles via one-pot three-component reaction of phenacyl bromides, sodium azide and alkynes. A Cu(ii)-Schiff base complex containing an imidazolium ionic phase was prepared and decorated on core shell Fe3O4@NFC magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@NFC-ImSalophCu) and was used as an efficient catalyst. The heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, TEM, XRD spectroscopy, EDX spectroscopy, VSM, and ICP spectroscopy. This catalyst shows the dual function of the metal sites and imidazolium moieties. The catalytic system mentioned above also showed excellent activity in the synthesis of bis 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Moreover, the catalyst could be recycled and reused for four cycles without any decrease in its catalytic activity.
