Catalytic power of magnetic nanoparticles containing heterocyclic linker along with copper metal in increasing the efficiency of heck reaction

One of the most effective methods of performing Coupling-Heck reactions is the use of magnetic nanocatalysts. These have high catalytic power, wide functional surface and potential extraction capability. Here is one of the most unique magnetic catalysts designed, synthesized and analyzed (by SEM, TEM, IR, VSM, XRD, EDX and TGA analyzers) by silica coating, heterocyclic linker and copper metal (with ∼10% loading). The conditions for the Heck reaction are green and ethanol is used as a solvent. The resulting products have a high efficiency of 98%. Nanocatalyst has also been used repeatedly and its catalytic power was evaluated above 96%. The present project has been carried out in two stages, and the resulting products have bio-pharmaceutical applications and have been considered as new compounds in the medical industry. •The studied nanocatalysts are magnetic nanocatalysts that can be controlled by an external field due to their magnetic properties.•The studied reaction is C–C Heck coupling, which is carried out under green conditions.•This reaction is carried out in two steps, including C–O, C–C coupling (Heck).•The obtained new products are used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and have high efficiency and are close to completion.
