Abstract

In this paper, a new type of magnetic mesoporous material (Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@KIT-6@2-ATP@Cu^I) was designed and synthesized and its application in the synthesis of amides and anilines was investigated. The structure of Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@KIT-6@2-ATP@Cu^I was characterized and identified using FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA, BET, VSM, and ICP techniques. An external magnet can easily remove the synthesized catalyst from the reaction medium, and be reused in several consequence runs.
