A novel magnetic polyacrylonotrile-based palladium Core-Shell complex: A highly efficientcatalyst for Synthesis of Diaryl ethers

摘要

The present article describes the synthesis of a new magnetic polyacrylonitrile-based Pd catalyst involving polyacrylonitrile modified via 2-aminopyridine as an efficient support to immobilize Pd nanoparticles. The simple reusability, easy separation and high stability of this Pd complex make it an excellent candidate to generate a C-O bond via Ph-X activation which is a really important subject in achieving biologically active compounds. It is worth to note access to good and high yields as well as broad substrate scope have resulted from superior reactivity of this catalyst complex. Furthermore, the structure of the magnetic polyacrylonitrile-based heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by fourier transmission infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Also, its thermal properties were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
