A highly active magnetically recoverable nano ferrite-glutathione-copper (nano-FGT-Cu) catalyst for Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions

1,2,3-Triazoles were synthesized in water using magnetically recoverable heterogeneous Cu catalyst via one-pot multi component reaction using MW irradiation. Aqueous reaction medium, easy recovery of the catalyst using an external magnet, efficient recycling, and the high stability of the catalyst renders the protocol economic and sustainable.
