Synthesis of magnetic CuFe2O4 nanoparticles as green catalyst for toluene oxidation under solvent-free conditions

A green method was developed for the synthesis of CuFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles using a Neem leave extract. The prepared nanoparticles with an average size of 19.7 nm were used as an effective catalyst for the oxidation of various aryl alkanes in moderate to excellent yields under solvent-free cond...
