Abstract :
A new support for Pd(II) was synthesized via the functionalization of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with N-(2-aminoethyl)acetamide. PdCl2 was anchored to the support for obtaining a heterogeneous magnetically recoverable catalyst for Pd(II). High yield and excellent selectivity were obtained for the green epoxidation of styrene derivatives using H2O2 as a green oxidant in H2O as the solvent at 100 °C. Also, the recovered catalyst is applicable for four times without significant decrease in yield.
