Green preparation of cu immobilized on CaZnFe2O4 MNPs (CaZnFe2O4@OLE-cu) as a biocatalyst in the synthesis of new coumarin derivatives

The present work explains a green and environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of CaZnFe 2 O 4 @Olive leaves-Cu magnetic nanoparticles (CaZnFe 2 O 4 @OLE-Cu MNPs). The characterization of these prepared green MNPs was performed using an array of analytical techniques including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction Pattern (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Vibrating-Sample Magnetometry (VSM) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission (ICP-OES) techniques. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of CaZnFe 2 O 4 @OLE-Cu MNPs was studied to develop the synthesis of new coumarin derivatives. These compounds were synthesized in high yield under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, CaZnFe 2 O 4 @OLE-Cu MNPs showed excellent reusability in five runs with a little decrease in its catalytic activity.
