In this work, an approach described to successful intercalation of copper(I)-Tricine complex into layered double hydroxide (LDH) coated on magnetite nanocomposites by ultrasonic methods. The activity of this nanocatalyst was investigated for oxidative esterification of arylaldehydes under ultrasonic irradiation. The oxidative esterification reaction was performed in environmentally friendly condition, high yield, short reaction times and simple method with highly efficient catalyst system. In addition, this catalyst can be removed from the reaction medium simply by use of an external magnet.
