Based on CuFe₂O₄ MNPs: Magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts in coupling reactions

Abstract

Catalysis in coupling reactions is a well-known topic in organic synthesis. The application of magnetically reusable nanocatalysts in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds has emerged as an extremely general technology for the preparation of a broad spectrum of drugs, biologically active molecules and mimics natural products. In recent times, catalysis research has clearly experienced a renaissance in the area of utility of copper ferrite nanoparticles based on their ability to recovery and reusability. In recent times, the catalytic potential of copper ferrite nanocatalysts was evaluated in a number of coupling reactions. In this review, we focus on the application of magnetically recoverable copper ferrite nanocatalysts in these coupling reactions.
