Fe3O4-nanoparticles catalyzed an efficient synthesis of nitriles from aldehydes

Recent advances in organo-nanocatalysis in the field of green organic synthesis

“…Based on the nature of the magnetic core, these magnetic nanocatalysts can be further classified into two groups: one containing Fe 3 O 4 and the other bearing Fe 2 O 3 ; both have found applications in various coupling and oxidative reactions. 63,64,65 Encapsulation of the surfaces of the magnetic nanoparticles with an organic moiety provides a quasi-homogeneous phase in reaction media, thus acting as a bridge between homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis and mimicking the desirable merits of both of the catalytic systems. 66 This heterogenization of the catalyst as a magnetic nanocatalytic system allows them to be retrieved easily and facilitates their efficient reuse.…”

Green synthesis of benzonitrile using ionic liquid with multiple roles as the recycling agent

“…[10][11][12][13] Among them, preparation of benzonitrile from benzaldehyde and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH 2 OH$HCl) is one of the most interesting and advantageous approaches due to the constant carbon number in the reactant and nal product, mild reaction conditions, low production cost and prospect for industrial-scale application. 14 The transformation of benzaldehyde and NH 2 OH$HCl to benzonitrile can be grouped into two-step and one-pot methods. 15 For the two-step reaction, it is carried out to form benzaldoxime, and then the isolated benzaldoxime is dehydrated to benzonitrile.…”

MIL‐101(Fe) hexagonal microspindle as a highly efficient, reusable and versatile catalyst for benzo‐fused heterocyclic nucleus synthesis

“…Owing to easy reusability, uniformly distributed pores and well‐organized open channels, MOFs can be applied as highly efficient catalysts in chemical processes . Since Fe 3+ in homogeneous FeCl 3 has shown good catalytic performance, it is a good idea to heterogenize the Fe 3+ species …”
