Why is it important?

A novel magnetic composite catalyst has been prepared by immobilizing a chiral diamine on core/shell Fe3O4/ZnO. This new catalyst was characterized using X‐ray diffraction, energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and vibrating sample magnetometry. The performance of the catalyst was investigated in the asymmetric Kinugasa reaction.

Perspectives

We introduced a novel and mild procedure for the preparation of a heterogeneous catalyst system by immobilizing (R,R)‐ cyclohexandiamine on the surface of Fe3O4/ZnO core/shell MNPs. The resultant catalyst combines many advantages such as low cost, long‐term stability, high catalytic activity and easy recovery for Kinugasa reaction in PEG. This mild and operationally simple method provides a one‐step route to cis‐β‐lactams in good yields and diastereoselectivities (up to 85% yield; >99:1 d.r.).
