Dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA) capped magnetite nanoparticles as an efficient magnetic organocatalyst for the one-pot synthesis of α-aminonitriles and α-aminophosphonates

A dehydroascorbic acid capped magnetite (DHAA-Fe3O4) catalyst is prepared and used for the one-pot synthesis of α-aminonitriles and α-aminophosphonates. Different derivatives of these compounds are synthesized in good yields.
