title: Direct catalytic oxyamination of benzene to aniline over Cu(II) nanoclusters supported on CuCr2O4 spinel nanoparticles via simultaneous activation of C-H and N-H bonds.
abstract: We report the facile synthesis of a highly efficient, reusable catalyst comprising Cu(II) nanoclusters supported on CuCr2O4 spinel nanoparticles for the oxyamination of benzene to aniline (H2O2 + NH3) under mild aqueous reaction conditions. The synergy between the Cu(II) nanoclusters and CuCr2O4 spinel nanoparticles plays the most vital role towards its high catalytic activity.
