A novel water‐dispersible and magnetically recyclable nickel nanoparticles for the one‐pot reduction‐Schiff base condensation of nitroarenes in pure water

In this work, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst called Ni‐Fe 3 O 4 @Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal was first synthesized, which was investigated as a bifunctional catalyst containing nickel functional groups. On the other hand, this Ni‐Fe 3 O 4 @Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst in aqueous solvents shows a very effective performance at ambient temperature for the nitroarene reduction reaction with sodium borohydride, for which NaBH 4 is considered as a reducing...
