A novel heterogeneous nanocatalyst: 2-Methoxy-1-phenylethanone functionalized MCM-41 supported Cu(II) complex for C-S coupling of aryl halides with thiourea

摘要

An environmentally friendly copper-based catalyst supported on 2-Methoxy-1-phenylethanone functionalized MCM-41 was prepared and characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX, BET and ICP techniques. The catalyst was applied for the C-S cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with thiourea. Corresponding products were produced in good yields in aerobic conditions. The catalyst could be recovered and recycled for several times.
