A novel magnetically recoverable Au nanocatalyst was fabricated by spontaneous green synthesis of Au nanoparticles on the surface of gum arabic-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles. A layer of Au nanoparticles with thickness of about 2 nm was deposited on the surface of gum arabic-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles, because gum arabic acted as a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent simultaneously. The resu...

One-pot reaction of aldehydes or ketons with aniline derivatives was performed using NaBH4 and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The optimum amount of Fe3O4 MNPs was 5 mol% under solvent free condition. The corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The magnetically recoverable iron oxide nanoparticles are found to be efficient for synthesis of amine derivatives. These...

In this paper, Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by the immobilization of chitosan on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, the 5-substituted hydantoins were synthesized from the condensation of aldehyde derivatives, ammonium carbonate and zinc cyanide as a well-known cyanating agent by the magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles under neat conditions. Fe3O4-Chitosan nanocatalyst as ...

This communication reports a nanocatalyst-based electrochemical assay for proteins. Ultrasensitive detection has been achieved by signal amplification combined with noise reduction: the signal is amplified both by the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol by gold-nanocatalyst labels and by the chemical reduction of p-quinone imine to p-aminophenol by NaBH4; the noise is reduced ...

The present study reports for the first time the use of a thiol-functionalized graphene oxide nanocatalyst with impressive activity (>10(5)-fold) in dephosphorylation reactions. The innovative and recyclable nanocatalyst has potential in designing artificial enzymes with targeted multifunctionalities and in detoxification of organophosphorus agents.

The synthesis of esters is one the most fundamental and significant subjects in organic chemistry chemical industry because they are used high-value products such as cosmetics, biofuel, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, food ingredients. In this study, an efficient, economic, sustainable, green protocol for oxidative esterification reaction has been developed. A one-pot direct transformation alipha...

Herein, it has been shown that the bismuth ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (BFO-MNPs) are new, efficient and recyclable catalysts for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the Hantzsch reaction. The one-pot four-component cyclocondensation reaction of dimedone, aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate was carried out under solvent-free conditions. The...

The synergetic effect of alloy and morphology of nanocatalysts play critical roles towards ethanol electrooxidation. In this work, we developed a novel electrocatalyst fabricated by one-pot synthesis of hierarchical flower-like palladium (Pd)-copper (Cu) alloy nanocatalysts supported on reduced graphene oxide (Pd-Cu(F)/RGO) for direct ethanol fuel cells. The structures of the catalysts were cha...
