Abstract

Ni2B@Cu2O and Ni2B@CuCl2 are introduced as simple and efficient earth-abundant transition-metal-based nanocomposites for the green one-pot reductive acetylation of aromatic nitro compounds and direct N-acetylation of arylamines using a solvent-free mechanochemical grinding technique. The designed Ni2B-based nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Notable advantages of these methods include broad substrate scope, use of a solvent-free mechanochemical grinding technique, implementation of earth-abundant transition-metal-based nanocomposites as simple and practical catalysts, and short reaction time and high yield at ambient condition. The mentioned methods can also be successfully applied for the synthesis of a broad range of other amides (especially substituted acetamides) using green chemistry protocols. Also, the recoverability and reusability of the mentioned new nanocomposites were investigated.
