Recent Applications of Magnetically Recoverable Nanocatalysts in CC and CX Coupling Reactions

Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles have emerged recently as an alternative for the easy separation of nanosized catalysts from reaction mixtures by employing an external magnetic field. These magnetic nanoparticles have been used as supports for catalysts and/or as part of an active catalytic site. Herein, special attention is given to identify the main synthetic steps required to develop both precious‐ and nonprecious‐metal‐catalyzed CC and CX coupling reactions by using magnetically separable catalysts.

Environmental implications and applications of engineered nanoscale magnetite and its hybrid nanocomposites: A review of recent literature

“…Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic pollutants in the magnetic iron oxide-semiconductor composite photocatalytic system can effectively break through the bottleneck of single-component semiconductor oxides with low activity under visible light and the challenging recycling of the photocatalyst from the final products [164]. There are crucial steps in precious-and nonprecious-metal-catalyzed CC and CX coupling reactions by using magnetically separable catalysts [165].…”

Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles supported imine/Thiophene‐nickel (II) complex: A new and highly active heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of polyhydroquinolines and 2, 3‐dihydroquinazoline‐4(1H)‐ones

“…First, the effect of solvent and solvent-free condition on the four-component reaction, catalyzed by 25 [11][12][13][14]. As seen in Table 1, higher reaction temperature (110°C) did not improve the reaction time and product yield, while lower reaction temperatures (r.t, 60 and 90°C) decreased the product yield.…”

“…[5,6] Therefore, the search for finding new support materials and heterogenization techniques is a hot research topic in modern research in catalysis. Among various solid supports used for the immobilization of metallic catalysts, magnetic nanoparticles have emerged as a robust and high-surface-area heterogeneous catalyst support, because they could not only stabilize the reaction catalytic species, but also improve the catalytic activity [7][8][9][10][11][12] The simple separation of MNPs-supported catalysts from products or mixture reaction by an external magnet is the most notable advantage of magnetic nanoparticles. [13][14][15] It is noteworthy that magnetic-supported catalysts can be reused many times while keeping their initial activity.…”

A facial, scalable, and green synthesis of superparamagnetic palladium–carbon catalyst and its use in disproportionation of gum rosin

“…An attractive alternative to filtration or centrifugation is magnetic separation [5][6][7][8]. Magnetic separation method due to simplicity, high efficiency, and low cost has been widely used.…”
