Catalytic Synthesis ofα-Aminonitriles Using Nano Copper FerriteCuFe2O4under Green Conditions

摘要

Copper ferrite nanomaterialCuFe2O4as reusable heterogeneous initiator in the synthesis ofα-aminonitriles. The nanocatalyst is easily recovered and its reusability is recorded. Synthesis ofα-aminonitriles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different aldehydes with amines and trimethylsilyl cyanides has been developed using nano copper ferriteCuFe2O4catalyst under room temperature and green solvent (water as solvent) conditions.α-aminonitriles are important in preparing a wide variety of amino acids, amides, diamines, and nitrogen containing heterocycles.
