Abstract
Carbon coated cobalt nanoparticles were tagged with azabis(oxazoline)−copper(II) complexes utilizing a copper(I)-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction, and the efficacy of the resulting nanomagnetic catalyst was tested in the kinetic resolution of racemic 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol via asymmetric monobenzoylation. The novel semiheterogeneous catalyst was examined under batch conditions and in a continuous flow-type reactor. The extremely high ferromagnetism of the cobalt cores not only facilitates the recycling of the nanobeads via magnetic decantation in the batch reactions but also enables a novel continuous flow-reactor design: This further allowed efficient agitation and containment of the particles to occur without the need for sophisticated separation strategies such as nanofiltration.
