Abstract

A green method was developed for the synthesis of CuFe₂O₄ magnetic nanoparticles using a Neem leave extract. The prepared nanoparticles with an average size of 19.7 nm were used as an effective catalyst for the oxidation of various aryl alkanes in moderate to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was characterized by powder- XRD, SEM and TEM study. The key advantages of this protocol are simple preparation, a recyclable heterogeneous catalytic system, and benign reaction condition with good to excellent yields with high selectivity toward acid (42–87%).
