Herein we report a facile approach for the preparation of a magnetically separable Fe 3 O 4 @poly(m-phenylenediamine)-@Cu 2 O nanocatalyst and its catalytic efficiency in the synthesis of 5-phenyl-[1,2,3]triazolo [1,5-c]quinazolines from (E)-1-bromo-2-(2-nitrovinyl)benzenes, aldehydes, and sodium azide under mild reaction condition is described. The morphology, chemical composition, interior structure and magnetic properties of the Fe 3 O 4 @PmPDs@Cu 2 O nanocomposites were studied using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique. The as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @PmPDs@Cu 2 O nanocatalyst was simply recovered using external magnet and reused up to successive six runs with no obvious loss in its catalytic efficiency and structural integrity (confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy of recycled nanocatalyst) along with low leaching of copper (2.32 ppm) and iron (0.008 ppm) ions. The present protocol has a broad substrate scope with high yield in shorter reaction time and it does not require any additive or base. Overall, it has better green chemistry metrices like low E-factor (0.93), process mass intensity (1.93), high reaction mass efficiency (51.9 %) and carbon efficiency (95 %).
