In this research, magnetic animal bone meal nanoparticles functionalized with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Fe3O4@ABM-EDTA) is reported as a green recyclable catalyst that catalyzed synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives in water. The catalyst was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermogravimetric (DTG), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). This study has demonstrated that Fe3O4@ABM-EDTA can act as an efficient catalyst for synthesis of biscoumarines in the presence of water as solvent at reflux conditions. A wide range of aldehydes could react with 2-hydroxycoumarin and give biscoumarin derivatives in excellent yields. Moreover, Fe3O4@ABM-EDTA was magnetically recovered and reused for five cycles without any significant loss of efficiency. Manuscript profile

In the present research, an efficient process for the synthesis of propargylamine derivatives catalyzed by a novel nanocomposite of CuO/MnO2 is reported. CuO/MnO2 nano-catalyst was synthesized by the co-precipitation process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction(XRD), ICP-OES and BET surface area analysis. A broad range of aromatic aldehydes was reacted with amines and phenylacetylene to produce the corresponding propargylamines. The CuO/MnO2 nano-catalyst is recyclable up to 7 repeated runs and it can be easily recovered by simple filtration. The present method affords additional advantages such as straightforward procedure, ease of workup, clean method and moderately short reaction times Manuscript profile
