MSP-Im/Cl (0.08 g) in water was the best condition (Table 2
entry 4). As shown in Table 2, the higher activity of the
immobilized catalyst CuO-np@MSP-Im/Cl compared with
its bare CuO NPs could be attributed to the participation of
MTMSP-Im/Cl in the catalytic process (compared entries 4
and 9). As can be seen in Table 3, higher yield and shorter
reaction time of product were obtained when CuO-np@
MSP-Im/Cl was utilized as the catalyst (entry 9). Therefore,
this reaction was developed with a wide range of substituted
epoxides with sodium azide in the presence of synthesized
heterogeneous nanocatalyst under mild conditions and the
results are summarized in Table 4. These results clearly
demonstrate that CuO-np@MSP-Im/Cl is an efficient cata-
lyst for the high regioselectivity of ring opening of epoxides.
Due to the importance of green chemistry and catalyst
recycling, of CuO-np@MSP-Im/Cl nanohybrid was inves-
tigated under the optimized conditions. The catalyst was
reused four times in the one-pot 3-phenoxy-1, 2-epoxy pro-
pane with sodium azide in water. The recovered catalyst was
reused after each run, washed with water and ethanol, and
dried in an oven at 60 °C for 30 min. The results illustrated
in Fig. 5 showed that the catalyst CuO-np@MSP-Im/Cl was
reused with consistent activity even after the four cycles.

MSP-Im/Cl) was successfully synthesized under ultrasonic
irradiation. Then, the synthesized catalyst showed good
performance in the synthesis of β-azido alcohols. The
catalyst can easily be separated by simple filtration and
reused for several cycles with consistent activity. Moreo-
ver, this methodology offers several advantages, including
excellent regioselectivity, high yields, short reaction times,
