In this study, magnetically nanoparticles of CuFe2O4@SiO2@PTMS@Tu@Ni(II) as novel and reusable catalyst were prepared. Synthesis of the Ni (II)ânanocatalyst was carried out through the complexation of Ni(OAc)2¡4H2O with the immobilized thiourea on silicaâlayered CuFe2O4. The prepared nanocomposite system was then characterized using SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, ICPâOES, Raman, UVâVis and FTâIR analyses. Catalytic activity of the Ni(II)âCuFe2O4 system was investigated towards rapid reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to arylamines with sodium borohydride as well as oneâpot reductiveâacetylation of nitroarenes to acetanilides with NaBH4/Ac2O system without the isolation of intermediate arylamines. All reactions were carried out in H2O within 3â7 min to afford the products arylamines/acetanilides in high to excellent yields. Reusability of the Ni(II)ânanocatalyst was examined for seven consecutive cycles without the significant loss of the catalytic activity.
