Amorphous Cu⁰ on Carbon Nanofiber as Recyclable Heterogeneous Catalyst for N-Arylation Reactions

Abstract

A novel heterogeneous catalyst, amorphous Cu⁰ on the carbon nanofibers was developed and characterized by means of several characterization techniques. The prepared Cu⁰ was investigated as a heterogeneous catalyst for N-arylation reaction. The results show it is an excellent catalyst with recyclability, high consistency and catalytic activity. After the catalyst was used for 5 cycles in the N-arylation reaction, amorphous Cu⁰ reunited into crystalline copper nanoparticles with different particle sizes and its good heterogeneity in the catalytic system was confirmed after the catalyst recovery.
