In this study, solid acid magnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4@SiO2-S-Bu-SO3H were prepared under appropriate conditions and characterized by various analytical techniques including FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, and VSM. Finally, the catalytic activity of the synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2-S-Bu-SO3H MNPs was investigated for the synthesis of valuable benzothiazole derivatives by the condensation reaction of ortho-aminothiophenol and various aldehydes under ultrasonic conditions. In the presence of the inexpensive, environment-friendly, magnetically recoverable solid acid catalyst, the benzothiazoles were obtained as pure target products in excellent yields (90–98%) and short reaction times (3–11 min). The synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2-S-Bu-SO3H MNPs show great catalytic activity because of the combined effect of Brønsted acidity and high functional group density. This solid acid magnetic nanocatalyst is reusable for several cycles and can be easily segregated from the reaction mixture. In this research, we have successfully developed ultrasonic assisted a green and efficient methodology for the synthesis of the 2-substituted benzothiazole derivatives using MNPs Fe3O4@SiO2-S-Bu-SO3H as a low-cost, environment-friendly, and reusable catalyst with excellent yields and very short reaction times.
