Promotion of Suzuki–Miura reaction under bimetallic green catalyst

Abstract

The aim of the project was to design and synthesize a magnetic nanocatalyst with a new organic ligand to perform the Suzuki reaction. To perform the carbon–carbon coupling reaction, the heterogeneous surface of the magnetic nanoparticles, which was in the blue phase, transferred the reactive materials to the blue phase. In the structure of this magnetic nanocatalyst, two metals, nickel and cobalt, are coated on the surface of the catalyst by the organic ligand, creating enough space to carry out the reaction, accelerate it and produce products with high efficiency. Due to the complete review of the results, the percentage of products is greater than 97% and the catalyst can be recovered during ten reuse cycles and shows a high efficiency, retaining 96% of its power. The high efficiency of the magnetic nanocatalyst in performing the reaction is very impressive and it is easily separated from the reaction medium by an external field, without causing toxic effects in the reaction and without side reactions.
