Synthesis of nanomagnetic supported thiourea-copper(I) catalyst and its application in the synthesis of triazoles and benzamides

A novel nanomagnetic supported thiourea-copper(I) complex and inorganic-organic Takemoto-like hybrid nanomagnetic catalyst was designed, and synthesized. The prepared naomagnetic catalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission and scanning electron microscopies, thermogravimetry, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, zeta potential and vibrating sample magnetometry. Furthermore, the fabricated dual-role inorganic-organic hybrid catalyst shows a striking and robust catalytic activity for the synthesis of triazoles and benzamides through click and coupling reactions, respectively, under mild and eco-friendly reaction conditions.
