A recyclable magnetic nanoparticles supported antimony catalyst for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles in water Original Research Article

A new magnetic nanoparticle-supported antimony catalyst was prepared and evaluated as a recoverable catalyst for Clauson-Kaas reaction. The reaction proceeds efficiently in aqueous medium to give the corresponding N-substituted pyrroles in high yield. The immobilized catalyst could be easily recovered by magnetic separation and recycled for six times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
