Abstract

An environmentally friendly copper-based catalyst supported on 2-methoxy-1-phenylethanone-functionalized MCM-41 was prepared and characterized by Fourier transform-infrared, transmission electron microscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma techniques. The catalyst was applied for the one-pot three-component C–S coupling reactions of aryl halides with benzyl bromide and thiourea under aerobic conditions to afford the corresponding coupled products in good yields in water. The catalyst could be recovered and recycled five times. These results prove 2-methoxy-1-phenylethanone-functionalized MCM-41 supported Cu (II) complex was not leached during the reaction. Also it shows the correct heterogeneous nature of the catalyst.
