A new, powerful and recyclable copper catalyst were prepared by heterogenization of copper chloride using of Fe 3 O 4 nano particles modified with citric acid as a linker. This system can catalyze reduction of nitroaren compound to aniline derivatives in the presence of Sodium borohydride as a reduction agent in moderate to good yields. In addition, easy separation and recoverable with an external permanent magnet is the dominant properties of this catalyst (Cu 2+ ‐CA@Fe 3 O 4 ).
