novel magnetic nanoparticle was synthesized with effective catalytic properties and recyclable ability. This heterogeneous nanocatalyst was identified using Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopies, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis methods. The nanocatalyst was used for the synthesis of the one-pot C-S coupling synthesis of sulfide in the presence of KOH, S-8 as the sulfur source in DMSO as the solvent at 100 degrees C. Also, the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and oxidative coupling of thiols to disulfides in the presence of the catalyst was tested. The catalyst has unique properties such as ability of magnetic separation from the reaction, high repeatability, and high thermal and chemical stability. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
