Abstract: In this study, magnetic hercynite nanoparticles (FeAl2O4, MNPs) were functionalized
by cheap and readily available tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) as an organocatalyst.
Various techniques, including Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), Energy
Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) were employed to determine the
morphology, particle size, physical properties, and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles.
Additionally, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques were used to
investigate the presence of the functional group. The activity of this new catalyst as a magnetically
recoverable nanocatalyst was investigated in the synthesis of oxygen and nitrogencontaining
heterocyclic compounds. Pyranoprazole and 2-amino-4H-benzo[b]pyrans compounds
were synthesized with high efficiency in a short time. FeAl2O4@SiO2@Tris can be separated using
magnetic attraction and reused up to 5 consecutive times without a significant decrease in the yield of target
products or catalytic activity.
