Biogenic CuFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles as a green, reusable and excellent nanocatalyst for acetylation reactions under solvent-free conditions

Abstract

A convenient green method has been developed for the synthesis of biogenic CuFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles using tea extracts within a very short reaction time. The prepared nanoparticles with an average size of 8.78 nm have been used as an effective catalyst for the acetylation of various alcohols, phenols and amines in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, XPS, VSM, SEM and TEM study. A magnetic study of the fresh and recycled catalyst after the fourth cycle was performed by VSM measurement. The main advantages of this protocol are simple biogenic synthesis of the catalyst, a reusable and heterogeneous catalytic system, and short reaction times with excellent yields.
