Abstract

We report a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of triarylamine derivatives using copper iodide nanoparticles, 1,10-phenanthroline and potassium hydroxide. Copper iodide nanoparticles enhanced the rate and ease of reaction and exhibited a high influence in the efficient synthesis of various amine derivatives. The nanoparticles also increased the yields of products and decreased the reaction times in all cases. The heterogeneous mediator was fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.
