摘要

This study presents the development of a highly efficient magnetic nanocatalyst made of Cu2O-CuO nanoparticles (NPs) supported on silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O-CuO@Fe3O4-SiO2-imine nanostructure). SiO2 was employed to stabilize Fe3O4 by preventing aggregation and offering the potential for surface functionalization to immobilize catalysts. The grafting of imine over Fe3O4-SiO2 reduces the leaching of Cu2O-CuO NPs. The catalyst's composition and structure were confirmed using various techniques, such as FT-IR, SEM-EDX, elemental mapping, HR-TEM, PXRD, XPS, ICP-AES, TGA-DTA, and VSM. The potentiality of the as-prepared catalyst was examined in synthesizing quinazolinone scaffolds via a reaction between 2-amino benzonitrile and various alcohol substrates. It was observed that 2-aminobenzonitrile with electron-donating groups afforded isolated yields of the desired products ranging from 92 to 94% and was found to be recyclable up to five cycles without apparent loss in activity.

Graphical abstract

Silica-coated iron oxide supported Cu2O-CuO heteronanostructure is an efficient magnetic catalyst for the facile synthesis of quinazolinone scaffolds via a reaction between 2-amino benzonitrile and alcohol substrates. It can be recycled up to 5 cycles without apparent loss in catalytic activity.
