The supported palladium on phosphine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (Pd-PFMN) was found to be an efficient magnetically separable catalyst for the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction (BHAR) under solvent-free conditions. All of the reactions in the presence of Pd-PFMN catalyst afforded the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. The catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture using an external magnetic field, and it can be reused at least five cycles without significant loss in its initial catalytic activity.
