Formation of C(sp2)–X bonds was carried out using a Fe3O4@SiO2‐copper(I) sucrose xanthate nanoparticle catalyst with the aid of the copper(I) xanthate moiety in the catalyst which was prepared from the reaction between sucrose and carbon disulfide through an alkaline medium via the traditional Zeise approach. Various techniques were employed for the characterization of these novel nanoparticles. Three sorts of heteroatoms, N, O and S, successfully underwent heteroatom arylation to produce secondary or tertiary amines, ethers and thioethers, respectively.

Magnetite nanoparticles coated with mesoporous silica, Fe3O4@SiO2, were prepared.

Copper-grafted guanidine acetic acid-modified magnetite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @GAA-Cu(II)) as a green, superparamagnetic and recoverable nanocatalyst is found to promote quantitative N-acylation of various amines in a very short time with an equimolar amount of thioacetic acid in water at room temperature. This method is found to be highly selective for amines and not sensitive to other functional groups. Mild reaction condition, high selectivity, efficiency, simple workup and excellent yields are some of the major advantages of the procedure.

Current paper represents immobilization of sucrose on the Fe3O4 core and grafting of boron trifluoride (BF3) onto the new surface. The catalytic activity of these nanoparticles was tested in syntheses of Dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) and Bis (3‐Indolyl) Methanes (BIMs) as two fruitful pharmaceutical structures. Acidic capacity, FT‐IR, XRD, VSM, TGA and SEM–EDX tests are carried out on such novel nanoparticles (NPs). Catalyst has shown more acidic capacity per one gram of NPs than sulfonated homologue which was reported previously.
