PhD Candidate Signature Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh i ABSTRACT Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted attention as catalyst supports, because of their response to an applied magnetic field. Magnetic separation has emerged as a robust, highly efficient and rapid catalyst separation tool with many advantages compared to other catalyst isolation techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction, chromatography, filtration or centrifugation. The superparamagnetic nanoparticle materials had highly catalytic activity in many organic reactions because they contain open-type centers.
Specifically, two superparamagnetic nanoparticle materials include CuFe2O4 and Fe2O3 were synthesized by simple methods, having many outstanding advantages suitable for catalytic applications. Moreover, these superparamagnetic nanoparticle materials were commercial materials and could be obtained at low cost. Two materials, including CuFe2O4 and Fe2O3 were used as heterogeneous catalysts for C–N cross-coupling reactions to synthesize compounds such as triphenylamines, 3- phenylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one and phenyl(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-3- yl)methanone substances. The result of the reaction between benzoxazole: iodobenzene (1: 3) produced triphenylamine with a conversion rate of nearly 95% after 2 hours at 140 C in diethylene glycol solvent, 2.5 equivalent Cs2CO3 using 10 mol% catalyst of CuFe2O4 in the argon gas.
Fe2O3 material was used as a catalyst for the 3- phenylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one compound from 2-oxo-2-phenylacetic acid (0.25 mmol) and benzene-1,2-diamine (0. The results achieved a conversion of about 82% after 24 hours at 100 °C in a mixture of solvent C6H5Cl/H2O (1.5) (v / v), using 10 mol% catalyst of Fe2O3. In addition, CuFe2O4 was also used for phenyl(2- phenylimidazo[1,2-a] pyrimidin-3-yl)methanone from trans-chalcone (0.3 mmol) and 2-aminopyrimidine (0. The results achieved a conversion of about 84% after 7 hours at 140 °C in 1,4-dioxane solvent, two equivalents of iodine using 10 mol% catalyst of CuFe2O4 in oxygen atmosphere.
These catalysts provided high efficiency and selectivity. In addition, the function of the catalysts has also been demonstrated. The superparamagnetic nanoparticle catalysts could be recovered and reused many iii times without any significant reduction in catalytic activity. To our knowledge, these transformations using superparamagnetic nanoparticle catalysts have not been studied before.
iv TÓM TẮT LUẬN ÁN Vật liệu nano siêu thuận từ đã thu hút sự chú ý của các nhà khoa học với vai trò là chất xúc tác hỗ trợ. Sự tách từ tính ngày càng được chú ý như một phương pháp tách xúc tác, hiệu quả cao và nhanh chóng với nhiều ưu điểm hơn so với việc phân lập xúc tác bằng cách truyền thống như chiết lỏng-lỏng, sắc ký, lọc hoặc ly tâm. Vật liệu này thể hiện hoạt tính xúc tác cao trong nhiều phản ứng hữu cơ vì chúng chứa các tâm kim loại mở. Đặc biệt hai vật liệu gồm CuFe2O4 và Fe2O3 được tổng hợp bằng phương pháp đơn giản, có nhiều ưu điểm vượt trội phù hợp trong ứng dụng xúc tác.
Hơn nữa, các vật liệu nano siêu thuận từ này đã được thương mại hóa và giá thành tương đối thấp. Cả hai vật liệu CuFe2O4 và Fe2O3 được sử dụng làm xúc tác dị thể cho phản ứng ghép đôi C–N trong quá trình tổng hợp các hợp chất hữu cơ như triphenylamine, 3- phenylquinoxalin-2(1h)-one và phenyl(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-3- yl)methanone. Kết quả thực hiện phản ứng giữa benzoxazole : iodobenzene (1 : 3) tạo ra triphenylamine đạt hiệu suất gần 95% sau 2 giờ ở 140 C trong dung môi diethylene glycol, 2.5 đương lượng Cs2CO3 sử dụng 10 mol% CuFe2O4 trong môi trường khí argon. Vật liệu Fe2O3 được sử dụng làm xúc tác cho phản ứng tổng hợp 3- phenylquinoxalin-2(1h)-one từ 2-oxo-2-phenylacetic acid (0.25 mmol) và benzene- 1,2-diamine (0.
Kết quả thực hiện phản ứng đạt hiệu suất khoảng 82% sau 24 giờ ở 100 C trong hỗn hợp dung môi C6H5Cl/H2O (1.5) (v/v), sử dụng 10 mol% xúc tác Fe2O3. Ngoài ra, vật liệu CuFe2O4 cũng được sử dụng cho phản ứng tổng hợp phenyl(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)methanone từ trans-chalcone (0.3 mmol) và 2-aminopyrimidine (0. Kết quả thực hiện phản ứng đạt hiệu suất khoảng 84% sau 7 giờ ở 140 C trong dung môi 1,4-dioxane, hai đương lượng iodine sử dụng 10 mol% xúc tác CuFe2O4 trong môi trường khí oxi. Các xúc tác này cho hiệu suất và độ chọn lọc cao.
Ngoài ra, chức năng của các xúc tác cũng đã được chứng minh. Các xúc tác nano siêu thuận từ có thể thu hồi và tái sử dụng nhiều lần mà hoạt tính xúc tác giảm không đáng kể. Theo hiểu biết của chúng tôi, những phản ứng trên sử dụng các xúc tác CuFe2O4 và Fe2O3 chưa từng được nghiên cứu trước đây. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express our special appreciation and deep regards to my mentor, Prof.
