WO3/ZnO@NH2-EY is disclosed in the preparation of chromenes under air in the presence of a green LED. ˙O2−, OH˙, and h+ are proposed as reactive species and hot filtration test assured stability and reusability of the nanocatalyst.
In this work, a new synthetic route for the preparation of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles through the chemical co‐precipitation using Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in an alkaline solution was developed. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, ICP‐MS, DRS, TGA, VSM and elemental analysis. Characterization results confirmed the formation of single ZnFe2O4 phase, with an average particle size of 40 nm and a high saturation magnetization of 34 emu g−1. The prepared material was employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of 2‐aminotiophene derivatives through the Gewald reaction. This thermally and chemically stable nanocatalyst is environmentally benign, economical and reusable which can be easily recovered using an external magnet. Therefore, it appears that this methodology can be simply extended for industrial purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
