tIn this article, we have introduced catalytic application of copper ferrite nanoparticles (CuFe2O4) for one-pot odorless production of aryl alkyl thioethers using thiourea and alkyl bromides in wet polyethyleneglycol as a green solvent. The catalyst was also successfully applied for one-pot synthesis of symmetricaldiaryl trithiocarbonates via the reaction of sodium sulfide, carbon disulfide and aryl iodides under het-erogeneous reaction condition. Magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using iron (III)chloride and copper (II) chloride, and characterized using XRD, FT-IR, AAS, and TEM analysis. The catalystwas recycled using simple magnetic separation and reused for the five consecutive runs in the reactionof iodobenzene, thiourea and benzyl bromide without appreciable loss of activity.
