Magnetic Recyclable Cu/ZnFe2O4 for Catalytic Reduction of Nitroarenes and C-N Bond Formation Reactions

A magnetic recyclable Cu/ZnFe2O4 composite material was successfully prepared with easy-to-obtain raw materials. This obtained copper could be employed as efficient catalyst for both degradation of aromatic nitro compounds and C-N bond formation reactions without extra ligands. The reaction accomplished in 4 min high selectivity. variety N-aryl nitrogen-containing heterocycles products achieved good to excellent yields the reusable this environmentally friendly heterogeneous simply recovered via decantation used again six cycles considerable loss activity. Besides, morphology, chemical state property systematically characterized FT-IR, TGA, XRD, EDS, SEM, TEM, XPS, ICP-OES VSM studies. has been
