A promising graphene oxide (GO) anchored robust and thermally stable heterogeneous catalytic system containing the low cost and less toxic copper oxide as a catalytically active material for C-O coupling reactions is reported. A hybrid ligand (i.e. PPh2-CH2-CH2-NH2) has been used for the first time for functionalization of the GO surface. This ligand grafted over GO sheets via covalent linkages acts as an efficient stabilizing and chelating agent for CuO nanoparticles through P and N donor sites to form the catalytic system (GO-PN-CuO). The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), IR (IR) spectroscopy, XPS, thermogravimetric anal. (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) studies, SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the step-wise formation of GO-PN-CuO. The catalytic potential of GO-PN-CuO had been explored for the C-O coupling reactions of phenols with several aryl bromides and chlorides for synthesis of diaryl ethers under mild reaction conditions. The covalent linkage of the hybrid ligand with GO sheets and the strong binding abilities of P, N donor sites with CuO renders high stability to GO-PN-CuO. As a result, the catalytic system offers the advantage of recyclability up to five reaction cycles without any considerable loss in activity. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Phenoxypyridine (cas: 4783-68-0Electric Literature of C11H9NO).
2-Phenoxypyridine (cas: 4783-68-0) belongs to pyridine derivatives. In contrast to benzene, Pyridine’s electron density is not evenly distributed over the ring, reflecting the negative inductive effect of the nitrogen atom. Reduced pyridines, namely tetrahydropyridines, dihydropyridines and piperidines, are found in numerous natural and synthetic compounds. The synthesis and reactivity of these compounds have often been driven by the fact many of these compounds have interesting and unique pharmacological properties. Electric Literature of C11H9NO
