A Recyclable Nickel-Based Magnetic Nanocatalyst for Efficient and Ecofriendly Synthesis of Diaryl Sulfones
摘要
A magnetically separable nanocatalyst [Fe3O4@SiO2-DIABA-NiCl2] was synthesized by immobilizing nickel on surface-modified iron oxide nanoparticles functionalized with 3,4-diaminobutanoic acid (DIABA). The preparation involved coating Fe3O4 with SiO2, functionalizing it, and coordinating NiCl2. Characterization techniques included FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, VSM, BET, EDX, and TGA. The catalyst was tested for synthesizing diaryl sulfone derivatives through a three-component reaction with aryl boronic acid, K2S2O5, and aryl iodides, using K2CO3 as a base and glycerol as a solvent at 100 °C for 3 h. This method achieved excellent yields under mild conditions, showcasing the catalyst’s broad substrate scope, high selectivity, and reusability, making it a sustainable option for diaryl sulfone synthesis.
