Abstract: | A heterogeneous nanocatalyst based on a Cu(II) complex containing phosphotungstic acid and N/O‐donor ligands supported on cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was successfully prepared. The synthesized nanocatalyst was characterized using various techniques. The magnetic nanocatalyst was examined as an efficient and synergistic catalyst for ultrafast synthesis of acetaminophen at room temperature and under solventless conditions. The examined synergistic nanocatalyst, which has both Lewis and Brønsted acidic sites, could be easily separated from the reaction system and reused several times without significant loss of its activity. The synthesized acetaminophen was also fully characterized. |
