Magnetic nanostructure-anchored mixed-donor ligand system based on carboxamide and N-heterocyclic thiones: An efficient support of CuI catalyst for synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in eutectic medium

A Cu-incorporated nanocatalyst has been developed by immobilizing copper iodide on a magnetically retrievable mixed-donor ligand system, containing carboxamide, imidazolidine-2-thione and imidazole-2-thione donor groups and characterized by various analysis techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX elemental mapping, TEM, ICP-OES, TGA, and VSM. The versatility of the synthesized nanocatalyst has been demonstrated for the one-pot synthesis of...
