Nano magnetite functionalized 2,20-biimidazole complex of metal ions Cu(I), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) were successfully synthesized and characterized by different techniques such as elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM with EDS), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) instrument. The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of propargylamines via the three-component coupling reaction of aldehydes, alkynes and amines and one-pot synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles by the click reaction of primary halides or tosylates, sodium azide and terminal acetylenes in aqueous media. The prepared nanocatalyst can be facilely recovered and reused many times without a significant decrease in activity and selectivity. The high catalytic activity, thermal stability and reusability, simple recovery and ecofriendly nature of the catalyst make the present method particularly attractive in green chemistry.
