Abstract

MCM-41 supported Cu and Fe with magnetic core (Fe3O4@Fe-Cu/MCM-41) was prepared and applied as a nanostructured catalyst in the Buchwald-Hartwig C-N cross-coupling reaction. The textural properties of the core-shell catalyst have been studied by means of XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDX, BET, and VSM techniques. The catalyst samples with various Si:Cu:Fe molar ratios were used in the C-N coupling, and the reaction data shows that Fe3O4@Fe-Cu/MCM-41 with Si:Cu:Fe molar ratio of 60:1.5:1 has a better catalytic performance. The prepared catalyst can be recovered and reused several times without any significant decrease in activity and magnetic properties.
