Title Synthesis and characterization of copper nanoparticles supported onreduced graphene oxide as a highly active and recyclable catalyst forthe synthesis of formamides and primary amines
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Graphene oxide,Copper nanoparticles,FormamidesPrimary amines,Heterogeneous catalyst
Abstract tWe report here the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide supported copper nanoparticles (rGO/Cu NPs)from copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and graphite precursors using a simple protocol. The catalyst wascharacterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The rGO/Cu NPs is proved to be a useful hetero-geneous catalyst in Cu-catalyzed formamidation and amination of arylboronic acids. The catalyst can berecovered by simple filtration from the reaction mixture and reused several times without significantloss of catalytic activity
