Abstract
In this project, the new catalyst copper defines as Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) was successfully manufactured and fully characterized by different techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, TEM, FESEM, EDX, VSM, TGA, and ICP analysis. All results showed that copper was successfully supported on the polymer‐coated magnetic nanoparticles. One of the most important properties of a catalyst is the ability to be prepared from simple materials such as pectin that’s a biopolymer that is widely found in nature. The catalytic activity of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) was examined in a classical, one pot, and the three-component reaction of terminal alkynes, alkyl halides, and sodium azide in water and observed, proceeding smoothly and completed in good yields and high regioselectivity. The critical potential interests of the present method include high yields, recyclability of catalyst, easy workup, using an eco-friendly solvent, and the ability to sustain a variety of functional groups, which give economical as well as ecological rewards. The capability of the nanocomposite was compared with previous works, and the nanocomposite was found more efficient, economical, and reproducible. Also, the catalyst can be easily removed from the reaction solution using an external magnet and reused for five runs without reduction in catalyst activity.

Introduction
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) adduct furnish a leisure for a numerous of post-condensation cyclizations depending on the functional groups presented during the MCR. As a result, there is very little waste or unwanted by‐product formation compared to sequential synthesis1,2,3. The concomitant step economy, high convergence and structural range of the resulting products make this sustainable technique a powerful tool for the synthesis of biologically energetic molecules and optimization processes inside the pharmaceutical industry4,5. This strategy has been broadly applied for the past 2 decades to simplify the organic reactions discovery process in various fields, ranging from synthetic biology and material science, to complex natural product synthesis6,7. Manifold reviews on triazole chemistry have appeared during the last decade, covering different perspectives of science chemistry.
Over the past decade, a great deal penchant has been proven inside the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole unit. 1,2,3‐Triazoles are critical and useful heterocycles. Aside from pharmaceutical applications, where these devices are essential for their organic pastime or as an amide bond isostere, they may be additionally important in chemical biology know-how and material science8,9. Also, other uses include: as chemical agents, dyes, corrosion inhibitors, photo stabilizers and photographic materials. Several 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives show interesting biological activities10,11,12,13,14. One of the most general methods for the syntheses of 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives is the classical Huisgen15 cycloaddition reaction that involves the thermal 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of organic azides with alkynes. However, it is in low efficiency and mixed regioselectivity. Research groups of Sharpless16 and Meldal's17, later independently developed the Huisgen 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction method with a copper (I) catalyzed, which the "click" reaction is widely studied. Also, according to several recent studies in the literature since 2010, the catalyzed reaction of click with copper has been widely reflected in various branches of science18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31. To make the CuAAC reactions practical, many efforts have been made, targeting discovering new and extra massive artificial techniques32,33,34. In the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, copper plays a prominent role in the formation of these compounds. On the premise of the work of Sharpless and Medal, special copper resources inclusive of Cu (I)35,36,37,38,39,40, MNP@PIL-Cu41, Cu-complicated42, Cu NPs43, and HMS-DP-Cu(II)44 had been tested. Moreover, in current years, as a way to synthesize triazoles, many other strategies had been counseled45,46,47. Although those easy approaches are viable for lots reactions, they've a major drawback; when copper salts are used as a homogeneous catalyst, it faces issues including tough separation and recycling of the catalyst, cytotoxicity, and environmental pollutants. When you consider that disposing of hint quantities of metal contaminants from the products is essential, specifically in the pharmaceutical enterprise, copper catalysts have to be fully separated from the products. accordingly, the heterogeneously catalyzed techniques are superb for such reactions. throughout the past few years, copper ions had been immobilized onto a huge solid support, which include agarose48, polymers49, chitosan50, silica44, cellulose51,52, eggshell53, pectin and graphene54,55,56 that help in selectivity and controlling reactivity besides the advantage of easy workability. However, it is complicated to remove a homogeneous copper catalyst from the reaction medium after the reaction has been completed. While removing a small amount of metal contamination from products, especially pharmaceuticals, is essential, copper catalysts should be completely removed from the product57,58,59,60. To solve this problem, heterogeneous copper catalysts should be used instead of homogeneous copper catalysts. The choice of materials that have been used for immobilization of copper complexes is essential, which can be referred to as magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetic nanoparticles are a group of advanced nanomaterials with specific applications and properties including environmental, biomedical, low toxicity, biological, and cost-effectiveness and sizes and are very efficient in the synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts61. The magnetic nanoparticles have been the focus of much research recently because they possess attractive properties which could see potential use in catalysis, including nanomaterial-based catalysts62, biomedicine63 and tissue-specific targeting64, magnetically tunable colloidal photonic crystals65, microfluidics66, magnetic resonance imaging67, magnetic particle imaging68, data storage69,70, environmental remediation71, nanofluids72,73, optical filters74, defect sensor75, magnetic cooling76,77 and cation sensors 78. One of the significant problems of magnetic nanoparticles is their nakedness problem, which is due to the small distance between the particles and to some extent the presence of van der Waals forces and the high surface energy. The above points cause the nanoparticles to be subjected to the accumulation of the reaction mixture79. The accumulation of particles affects their properties. The effect is accompanied by catalytic reactions. To maintain these properties, magnetic nanoparticles are continuously modified by placing stabilizing coatings in active sites to prevent their irreversible accumulation. Iron oxide-like outer shells such as polymers80,81, zeolites 82, titanium dioxide83, silica84 and carbon 85 being investigated. The choice of supporting materials for the catalyst is essential because it determines the reproducibility thermal, activity, and durability of the catalyst in catalytic reactions86. Hence, magnetic nanocomposites are very important as a substrate for catalysts due to their wide surface area, easy preparation and green nature 87. Pectin is a natural polysaccharide copolymer that is present in the walls of primary cells and is extracted from fruits and vegetables 88. The structure of pectin appertains on its extraction process and provenance. Pectin has properties such as biocompatible, biodegradable, bioactive, and is utilized in meals, cosmetics, biology, and medicinal drug89.
In this study, a highly efficient and recyclable copper catalyst first designed from pectin, a low-cost, harmless, and green biopolymer for organic reactions. In summary, amino-functionalized pectin (Pectin-NH2) was obtained by mixing pectin with (3-Aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane (APTMS) in toluene. Schiff base reaction was performed with the reaction of NH2-grafted pectin with acetamide. Eventually, the copper catalyst turned into without problems prepared with the aid of stirring of Schiff base functionalized pectin (Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide) and copper acetate in ethanol (Fig. 1). This novel catalyst become fully analyzed with the aid of several instrumental techniques and implemented as a water-dispersible/magnetically reusable copper (II) catalyst for the 1,2,3-triazole click reactions in aqueous media. The designed copper catalyst showed highly efficient catalytic activity for click reactions of aryl halides, Sodium azide, and alkynes; in addition, the copper catalyst showed superior reusability by producing high-efficiency products even after five cycles.
Experimental
Materials and methods
Ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O, > 99%) and ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O) were used as an iron source. Pectin with the degree of esterification of 76% and other materials used in this article were from Merck (Germany) and Sigma Aldrich and were used without further purification. The reaction progress and purity of the products were determined using TLC on silica‐gel Polygram SILG/UV254 plates. FT‐IR spectra were recorded with a Nicolet system 800 beam splitter KBr SCAL = 800 in the 400–4000 cm−1. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) investigations were performed using a Philips EM 208S Transmission Electron Microscope. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was also recorded under argon and air atmosphere using TGA/TDA Q600 TA Instruments. Melting points were determined using an electrothermal 9100 device. The powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) was performed within Philips PW1730 with a Cu Kα (λ = 1.54060 Å) radiation. SEM–EDX was recorded by Fe-SEM TESCAN MIRA3. The 1H NMR (250 MHz) and 13CNMR (62.9 MHz) analyses were performed on a Bruker Avance DPX-250 spectrometer in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 as solvent and TMS as internal standard.
Synthesis of Fe3O4 pectin
Core–shell Fe3O4@Pectin nanospheres were prepared in terms of the previously described method 90. According to this, 0.5 g of pectin dissolves in 50 ml of distilled water under stirring until a homogeneous dispersion of pectin is obtained. FeCl3.6H2O (3 g) and FeCl2.4H2O (1.6 g) dissolve in 25 ml of distilled water separately and then add them. Then slowly added them to the mixture containing pectin, which resulted in a brown gel. The reaction mixture was stirred under a gentle flow of N2 at 85° C for 2 h. After which an excess of ammonium hydroxide (25 wt%) to the reaction mixture was added until the pH reaches 11–12 and the mixture becomes black indicating the formation of magnetite and again the mixture was under a gentle flow of N2 at 85° C for 30 min. At the end, the precipitate was removed from the reaction vessel and to reduce the pH washed with distilled water until pH reached the range of 7, then precipitate dried under vacuum.
Synthesis of Fe3O4@Pectin@APTMS
In the first step, synthesized Fe3O4@Pectin (1.7 g) was sonicated in dry toluene (30 ml) for 30 min, and then 3-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane (APTMS: 1.1 ml) was added slowly to the mixture. Then the mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After stirring, the product obtained from Fe3O4@Pectin and APTMS was exposed for 24 h under N2 gas at reflux conditions. After finishing the reaction, the solid obtained is separated by an exterior magnet and washed three times with 15 ml of toluene. At the end, solid dried at 70 °C in oven under vacuum for 4 h.
Synthesis of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide
In the beginning, Acetamide (2.12 mmol, 0.129 g) was dissolved in dry ethanol (5 ml) and then slowly added to a 100 ml flask containing 45 ml of ethanol and Fe3O4@Pectin@APTMS (1.97 g), which were dispersed using ultrasound for 30 min. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 6 h. After, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The resulting Schiff base immobilized on Fe3O4@Pectin was separated by an external magnet, washed three times with ethanol and dried under vacuum.
Synthesis of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II)
The synthesized Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide (1 g) was dissolved in dry ethanol (5 ml) under sonication. Copper acetate was also dissolved separately in ethanol (15 ml). The metal solution was slowly added to the solution containing the substrate under sonicate conditions. Then the reaction mixture is subjected to vigorous stirring for 24 h to place the copper metal on substrate Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide. Finally, it separated the solid product from the solution and washed it with ethanol several times to remove excess copper from the catalyst, and it dried under vacuum (Fig. 1).
The method of synthesizing triazole derivatives
To a test tube on a magnetic stirrer containing catalyst (0.5 mol %) and H2O (2 ml) as a green solvent, Alkyl halides (1.0 mmol), Sodium azide (1.2 mmol), alkyne (1.0 mmol) added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 65° C and the progress of the reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction is complete and the reaction mixture has cooled, the catalyst is removed from the reaction medium by an external magnet. A pure product was obtained by recrystallization from EtOAC-Water. The products were identified by comparing their melting points with those previously reported because the products are known compounds. See spectral data for selected compounds in the supplementary information file.
Results and discussion
Catalyst characterization
We synthesized a catalyst that is very efficient, selectivity, green and suitable for the synthesis of triazole derivatives under aqueous conditions, due to the fact organic reaction design in aqueous environments is any other task of development in green chemistry. Finally, with the help of an external magnet, the catalyst can be eliminated from the reaction medium with high efficiency and reused. A general schematic for the synthesis of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II)is shown (Fig. 2).
Using FT-IR spectroscopy to investigate the steps of catalyst synthesis and confirm the formation of the expected functional groups has been done. The spectra of Fe3O4 (a), Pectin (b), Fe3O4@Pectin (c), Fe3O4@Pectin@APTES (d), Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide (e) and Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) nanocomposites (f) are shown in Fig. 2. FT-IR spectrum of Fe3O4 (Fig. 2a) the stretching vibrations Fe–O and O–H at 574 cm−1 and 3420 cm−1 that allow the establishment of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The FT-IR spectrum of Pectin (Fig. 2b) shows characteristic peaks at 3400–3600 cm−1 (O–H stretching alcoholic and acidic), 2923 cm−1 (C–H stretching), 1725 cm−1(C=O of ester), 1618 cm−1 (COO– asymmetric stretching), 1412 cm−1 (COO– symmetric stretching). After core–shell, the Pectin with Fe3O4 shows the peaks at 3422 cm−1 (O–H stretching), 2923 cm−1 (C–H stretching), 1626 cm−1 (COO– asymmetric stretching) and 577 cm−1 cans be assigned to Fe3O4 (Fig. 2c). As predicted (Fig. 2d), several new bands have been detected in 1100, 1200 and 3200 cm−1 that were corresponding to the stretching vibrations of the C–N, Si–O functional group and NH2 (that overlap with peaks of OH in pectin) bond that approval of surfaces chemical modification of the Fe3O4@pectin with the (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane. FT-IR spectrum Of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide nanoparticles (Fig. 2e), the presence of a weak peak of 1650 cm−1, which is covered by peaks of carbonyl group of pectin and peaks of NH2, overlap with peaks of OH in pectin, indicates the formation of a Schiff base in the structure of this catalyst. In the FT-IR spectrum of the Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) (Fig. 2f), the shifting of the stretching vibration of the C=N groups to lower wave-number confirms the coordination of Cu metal ions to the nitrogen atoms of the Schiff base. Finally, the tensile vibrations in the FT-IR spectrum of the catalyst are presented in Table 1.
The TEM method was used to gain further insight into the structure of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu (II) nanostructures. Monodispersed nanoparticles were identified with a relatively uniform morphology (Fig. 3a). The average diameter of nanostructures is obtained based on the 15 nm particle size distribution histogram (Fig. 3b).
The thermal degradation behavior of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) catalyst was analyzed by TGA, which has three thermal steps and its curve is shown in Fig. 4. In the first stage, a mass reduction of about 4% occurs at temperatures below 100 °C, which is related to the excretion of water molecules at the nanocatalyst surface. The second stage is related to the major degradation of pectin, which occurs in the temperature range of 200 to 350 °C, which shows a weight loss of about 10%. Decomposition of pure pectin takes place at a temperature of 300 to 500 °C. Also, the 8% weight loss due to the change of thermal crystalline phase from Fe3O4 to γ-Fe2O3 occurs in the third stage in the temperature range between 350 and 650 °C. Other stages of the weight loss of about 11% at the temperature with a gentle slope of 400–800 °C were assigned due to the decomposition of the immobilized organic moieties on the surface of the Fe3O4@Pectin core–shell nanoparticles.
The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy image and Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) were characterized by FESEM and EDX (Fig. 5). FESEM analysis of products (Fig. 5a) provides information on the size and morphology of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II). The results showed the average product size of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) nanoparticles was less than 24 nm. By EDX analyzing, the distribution of elements in Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) were studied (Fig. 5b). As can be seen, elements of Fe, Si, O, C, N, and Cu are present in the structure of the catalyst, indicating that our catalyst is well synthesized.
The magnetic properties of Fe3O4 (Fig. 6a), Fe3O4@Pectin (Fig. 6b) and Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) nanoparticles (Fig. 6c) were recorded at room temperature using the VSM method (Fig. 6). 63.23, 53.23 and 36.93 emu/g were the saturation magnetization values for Fe3O4, Fe3O4@Pectin and Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) nanoparticles. Therefore the saturation magnetization value of Fe3O4 after coating with pectin, APTMS and acetamide (Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II)) decreases significantly from about 63.23 emu/g to 36.93 emu/g. The pectin shell that surrounds the Fe3O4 nanoparticles reduce the interactions between these particles. However, despite the decrease in saturation magnetism, the catalyst can still be rapidly and easily removed from the reaction media using an external magnetic field.
X‐ray diffraction patterns of Fe3O4, CuO, and Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) in the 2θ range between 10° and 80° are shown in Fig. 7. The XRD pattern of Fe3O4 shows six characteristic diffraction peaks according to the cubic crystal system at 30.3°, 35.8°, 43.6°, 54.8°, 57.3°, and 63.2° (2Ɵ), corresponded respectively to the (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), and (440) miller indices, according to the database of maghemite (See Fig. 7a)90,91,92. Also, the XRD pattern of the CuO (Fig. 7b) shows the peaks at 2θ = 32.07°, 35.47°, 35.82°, 48.72°, 52.97°, 58.02°, 62.47°, 67.87° and 69.32° corresponding to the (110), (111), (022), (202), (202), (113), (022), (220) and (222) crystallographic phases in PXRD pattern are related to CuO93,94. The XRD pattern of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) was also examined as shown in Fig. 7c that matches well with the characteristic peaks of bare Fe3O4 and CuO, these explanations, these results imply that the spinel structure of Fe3O4 and Cu(II) has been retained during the process of catalyst preparation. Also, the peak at 18°, which is related to pectin in Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II), indicates that it is also present in the structure of the pectin catalyst90.
Evaluation of the catalytic actuality of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) in the reactions of synthesis of triazole derivatives
The catalytic activity of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) nanocatalysts in the synthesis of 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives were investigated. The reaction of benzyl chloride, sodium azide and phenyl acetylene in the presence of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) catalyst was selected as a model. The effect of different parameters on the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) was investigated. Reactions were performed with various solvents such as ethanol, methanol, H2O, n-Hexane and in solvent-free conditions (Fig. 8-I). Ethanol and methanol showed moderate activity, whereas solvent-free and n-Hexane were not suitable for this reaction. Further investigation of solvents showed that when used H2O as a solvent, the yield of the desired product increases significantly. Therefore, water, which is the cheapest, safest, and environmentally green solvent, is the best choice for this reaction. Then the effect of the amount of catalyst was investigated. The reaction was performed at different levels of the amount of catalyst at 75 °C (Fig. 8-II). 0.5 mol% of the amount catalyst was most effective in providing high yield. Increasing the amount of catalyst decreased the reaction efficiency even after a longer reaction time. Also, the product was not obtained when the reaction was performed without the presence of catalyst. In the next step, the effect of temperature on the reaction was investigated (Fig. 8-III). At room temperature no improvement was observed, however, the best efficiency was observed at 65 °C. After several experimental optimizations, the optimal reaction conditions for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives are as follows: 0.5 mol% of catalyst in H2O and 65 °C.
Comparison of the efficiency of (A) Fe3O4, (B) Pectin, (C) Fe3O4@Pectin, and (D) Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) in model reaction. Reaction conditions: Benzyl chloride (1.0 mmol), Sodium azide (1.2 mmol), phenylacetylene (1.0 mmol), catalyst (0.5 mol %), H2O (2 ml) as a solvent at 65° C for 120 min.

Green metrics including (a) AE, AEf, CE, RME, OE and (b) PMI, E, SI and WI for the one-pot Multi-component reaction of Phenacyl bromide, sodium azide, phenylacetylene, and catalysed by Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) (this study), CuFe2O4 (Table 3, entry 2), PANS2FCu (Table 3, entry 3) and CuI-USY (Table 3, entry 7); W/W = Weight/Weight (g/g).
After determining the optimized reaction conditions, the general use of the Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) catalytic system with different aryl or alkyl halides and alkynes for the synthesis of 1, 2, 3-triazole derivatives was studied. Reactions of benzyl chloride with sodium azide and phenylacetylene afforded the corresponding triazoles in high to excellent yields (Table 2, entries 1–4). Also, reactions of benzyl chloride with aliphatic alkynes required longer reaction times than aromatic alkynes to give high yields of the corresponding cycloaddition reactions (Table 2, entries 5, 6). Furthermore, the reaction of phenacyl bromide with alkynes, like benzyl chloride, proceeded well and provided the corresponding products at 87–98% isolated yields (Table 2, entries 7–14). Generally, all the substrates had the related products in high yields, But the benzyl chloride and phenacyl bromide with electron-donating substituents (such as methyl) or no substituents, have higher reaction efficiencies than benzyl chloride and phenacyl bromide with electron-withdrawing substituents.
Also, to confirm the performance of the catalyst in comparison with its components, the efficiency of Fe3O4, Pectin, Fe3O4@Pectin and Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) Were studied separately in the model reaction (Fig. 9). As illustrate in Fig. 8, no product was gained by using Fe3O4, Pectin and Fe3O4@Pectin species. However, in the presence of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II), the reaction efficiency was very favorable. These findings indicate that the efficiency and strength of the catalyst increase with the presence of copper metal.
Based on previous reports95,96,97,98,99,100 and our observations, a suggested mechanism for the synthesis of triazole derivatives catalyzed by Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) nanocatalyst is shown in Fig. 10. In the first step, Cu–acetylide complex was generated from the reaction of Cu and aryl acetylene (step 1). Then, the alkyl or benzyl azide preparation in situ from sodium azide and alkyl halide [in situ formation (Step 2A)] is attached to [Cu] acetylide and a π-complex is formed as an intermediate product (step 2B). In the next step, the distal nitrogen of the azide attacks to the carbon of the Cu–acetylide to give a six-membered metallacycle (step 3). Finally, ring contraction to a Cu–triazolide complex (step 4) is followed by protonolysis that delivers the target product along with regeneration of Cu catalyst (step 5).
The recyclability of the catalyst was performed for 5 cycles in optimal conditions (Fig. 11). The results indicated that the used material was also active as a catalyst for five runs without a dramatic loss of catalytic activity. These results indicate that the catalyst of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) has very good performance and stability under reaction conditions.
A special property of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) is the stability of the framework underneath reaction conditions which retains the heterogeneous nature of the device (Fig. 12). To evaluate the heterogeneous nature of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II), the hot leaching test was carried out for click reaction in H2O as solvent at 65 °C. For this experiment, the catalyst was removed after 60 min from the reaction time, and the residual solution was stirred in the absence of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) for an additional 120 min. The end result confirmed that no in addition growth in either the conversion or selectivity occurred in the absence of the catalyst. This finding established that Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) is a typical heterogeneous catalyst.
Comparison of the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-Acetamide-Cu(II) catalyst in click reaction with other catalysts is shown in Table 3 for 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole and Table 4 for 1-Phenyl-2-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)ethanone. So far, several catalysts that have been used, as well as to the advantages, also had disadvantages, such as including long reaction time, low efficiency, use of high temperature for preparing these compounds. In the last few years, many triazole derivatives have been considered in clinical trials. The synthesized Fe3O4@Pectin@(CH2)3-acetamide-Cu(II) catalyst has many advantages over the reported catalysts such as suitable reaction conditions, lower catalyst amount, short reaction time, and high reaction efficiency.
Finally, a series of green metrics such as atom efficiency (AEF), atom economy (AE), reaction mass efficiency (RME), optimum efficiency (OE), carbon efficiency (CE), process mass intensity (PMIsolvent intensity (SI), E-factor (E), and water intensity (WI) were calculated to evaluate the greenness of the one-pot MCR of benzyl chloride, phenylacetylene and sodium azide for 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (Fig. 13) and Phenacyl bromide, phenyl acetylene and sodium azide for 1-Phenyl-2-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethanone (Fig. 14). To stable, the extra greenness of the current catalyst over the mentioned catalysts in the one-pot MCR of benzyl chloride, sodium azide, phenylacetylene for 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (Table 2, entries 1,3 and 9) and and Phenacyl bromide, sodium azide, phenylacetylene for 1-Phenyl-2-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethanone (Table 3, entries 1, 4 and 6), the current catalyst’s green metrics was compared with those of three previously reported catalysts. As it is shown in Figs. 13 and 14, the high values of the AE, AEF, CE, RME, and OE for the synthesis of 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole and 1-Phenyl-2-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethanone, shows well the greenness of the process. The lower the PMI, E, and SI, the more favorable process is because of green chemistry101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114.
Conclusions
We have effectively advanced a novel green heterogeneous catalytic system for Huisgen cycloaddition through immobilizing of copper ions on polymer‐covered magnetic nanoparticles, which may be quite simply prepared from easy substances. The solid support was prepared from Schiff base functionalized pectin in the presence of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. The presence of pectin makes the prepared catalyst more cost-effective and eco-friendlier. The prepared catalyst exhibits are used for the synthesis of 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a wide range of 1,2,3 triazole derivatives was synthesized from various alkyl halides and alkyne using the prepared catalyst in the presence of water as a standard green solvent. This catalyst can be taken into consideration as a heterogeneous model of Cu(II) and can be easily organized from starting substances. Catalyst properties include: high stability, high activity, reusability and easy recovery of the catalyst. Also, the magnetic nature of the catalyst eliminates of the need for centrifugation and filtration of the catalyst from the reaction mixture, making it possible to remove the catalyst from the reaction medium with the help of an external magnet. Finally, it can be said that the catalyst is recyclable and has good stability for click reaction.
