This study presents a sustainable and green method for
converting
visible light into valuable products. To accomplish this, a Pd NP-doped
COF-based magnetic photocatalyst (Pd/CoFe2O4@CTF) was created. The catalytic activity of the heterogeneous photocatalyst
was examined in the carbonylative coupling reactions for the preparation
of amides, esters, and 2-aryl quinazolinones after it had been characterized
using a variety of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, including
FT-IR, PXRD, TGA, SEM, EDAX, TEM, UV-DRS, Matt-Schottky, PL, EIS,
ICP, VSM, and BET. This study used the optical method for the first
time to create the 2-aryl quinazolinone ring from 2-aminobenzamide
and iodobenzene. The desired products can be produced in medium to
good yields by using the optical method and under suitable reaction
conditions. The benefits of this study include the use of visible
light as a renewable and environmentally friendly source, mild reaction
conditions, a simple separation method, a reduction in byproducts,
and cost and time savings. Under optimal conditions, the catalyst’s
stability and recyclability were investigated. It showed excellent
reversibility up to 6 times without significantly losing activity.
