Abstract

Recyclable phase transfer catalysts containing magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been known as a major trend towards sustainable catalysts. In this study, a novel class of magnetic porous polymer on the basis of calix[4]resorcinarene was synthesized starting from silica-coated Fe3O4 core-shell nanoparticles. This compound was found as an efficient phase transfer catalyst to the conversion of benzyl halides into benzyl azides and cyanides in good yields. The catalyst could be used at least for five consecutive cycles without appreciable loss in the catalytic activity. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
