Abstract

Magnetic nano-catalysts have been prepared using simple modification of iron ferrites. The nm size range of these particles facilitates the catalysis process, as an increased surface area is available for the reaction; the easy separation of the catalysts by an external magnet and their recovery and reuse are additional beneficial attributes. Glutathione bearing nano- ferrites have been used as organocatalysts for the Paal–Knorr reaction and homocoupling ...
