Here we report a simple procedure for the synthesis of a novel hybrid catalyst by growing iron oxide nanoparticles on carboxy-functionalized graphite. This hybrid catalyst demonstrated superior catalytic activity towards the alkylation of arenes with alkyl halides in contrast to commercial graphite or unsupported iron oxide nanoparticles in terms of yields and general applicability. The catalyst can be reused up to five times with a minimal loss of catalytic activity. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Microwave irradiation is a popular method in organic synthesis to achieve high yields in shorter reaction times. This decreases total 'man-hours' in a synthetic setting. Another technique used in organic chemistry to decrease manual manipulations, is solid support reagents. The benefits of this approach is that upon completion of a reaction, a simple filtration can be performed which expedites the work-up and also produces less organic waste. Friedel-Crafts alkylation has been explored using microwave chemistry as well as with solid-supported reagents. In comparison with traditional heating, as well as with AlCl3, superior yields were observed with silica-gel bound aluminum chloride (Si-AlClx) when microwave irradiated for only 5 min.
