Abstract

Copper ferrite nano material as reusable heterogeneous initiator in the synthesis of β, γ-unsaturated ketones and allylation to acid chlorides are presented. The reaction of allylichalides with various acid chlorides is achieved in the presence of copper ferrite nano powders at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The present method is first of its kind in the synthesis of title compounds without any additive/ co-catalyst. The nano catalyst is easily recovered and its reusability is recorded.

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of β, γ -unsaturated ketones using copper ferrite nano material was achieved. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques.
