Synthesis and characterization of nanocatalyst Cu²⁺/mesoporous carbon for amidation reactions of alcohols.

ABSTRACT: In this research, mesoporous carbon (MC) with high efficiency (0.65 g yield from 1.0 g MCM-41 and 1.25 g sucrose) was successfully prepared by adding carbon precursor (sucrose) in a single step with ultrasonic waves, which reduces time and energy cost. Then, the Cu²⁺/Mesoporous carbon nanocatalyst (Cu²⁺/MC) was synthesized by adding Cu(NO₃)₂ in a single step and applied as a catalyst in amidation reactions of alcohols. Also, Cu²⁺/MC was characterized using different spectroscopic methods and techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), N₂ adsorption analysis (BET), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Thermogravime
