Abstract
This study presents the anchoring of a Cu-complex onto a magnetite/SBA-15 composite material. The synthesis was achieved via sequential functionalization of magnetic mesoporous silica, first with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), followed by trichlorotriazine and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), resulting in the formation of Fe3O4@SBA-TEPA. Subsequent coordination of the grafted polyamine ligand with CuI in acetonitrile yielded the Cu-complex, Fe3O4@SBA-TEPA-Cu. Comprehensive characterization of the supported complex was performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The anchored Cu-catalyst displayed remarkable efficiency in catalyzing C-N bond formation via the Ullmann-type N-arylation of haloarenes and anilines under optimized reaction conditions, selectively producing the mono N-arylation product with high fidelity. The catalyst demonstrated outstanding recyclability, showing minimal deactivation over seven consecutive reaction cycles, highlighting its robustness and stability.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
