An Efficient and Attractive Synthetic Protocol for Three-component Preparation of NH-1,2,3-Triazoles Using a Novel Magnetically Recoverable Copper Catalyst

Abstract

Due to their magnetic separation and recycling characteristics, magnetic nanocatalysts are widely used in a wide variety of organic reactions. 1,2,3-Triazoles are heterocyclic compounds with broad applications in organic chemistry, including medicine, materials, and synthetic chemistry; a wide range of 1,2,3-triazoles exhibits many biological activities, including activity against fungal, viral, allergic, and microbial infections has been also reported in the literature. In this work, a magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocatalyst modified with pyridine-tetrazole ligand supported copper (II) acetate [MNPs-Py/Tet-Cu(OAc)2] was constructed and used to catalyze this one-pot three-component reaction of NH-1,2,3-triazoles. This nanocatalyst can act as an excellent catalyst for these three-component reactions. The [MNPs-Py/Tet-Cu(OAc)2] nanocatalyst, which demonstrated effective magnetization as 43 emu/g, can be easily separate from the reaction mixture and reused for 7 times while preserving their catalytic activity. Also the diameter of the nanoparticles is about 70–97 nm with spherical morphology.
