Application of Magnetic Chicken Feather Powder-Cu to the Click Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazoles

ABSTRACT

A novel copper (II) decorated on Fe₃O₄–chicken feather magnetic nanoparticles, denoted as Fe₃O₄–CF–Cu, was successfully prepared and fully characterized using FT–IR, SEM, TEM, EDS, TGA, XRD, ICP, XPS and VSM techniques. The activity of the prepared catalyst was studied in the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles by reaction of various azides and different terminal alkynes at room temperature under mild conditions. The reusability of the prepared nanocatalyst was examined five times with only a very slight loss of catalytic activity.
