Recent advances in organo-nanocatalysis in the field of green organic synthesis

Abstract

This article presents a summary of the uses of the various organo-nanocatalysts in organic synthesis that have been reported in the literature. A key feature of the development of sustainable methodology in organic synthesis is the easy recovery of a valuable catalyst and its reuse in successive runs without appreciable loss in its efficiency. Progress in the synthetic approaches to magnetic organo-nanocatalysts and their applications in organic synthesis are covered.

Recent advances in the application of nanocatalysts in C‐N coupling reactions

“…[15,16] Also, by applying catalytic reagents, one can decrease the temperature of a chemical reaction, decrease the quantities of reagent-based wastes, and increase the selectivity of a reaction that conceivably prevents undesired by-products, resulting in a greener strategy. [17][18][19][20][21] Catalytic systems can be classified into three categories, homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic. Enzymatic catalytic systems are the greenest and most efficient catalysts in nature.…”

Highly efficient and recyclable novel spindles Fe2O3@SiO2/In2O3 nanomagnetic catalyst designed for green synthesis of azomethine compounds

“…The development of low-cost and recyclable catalysts is attractive to whom are involved in the green synthesis of organic compounds. By using catalysts, one can reduce the reaction temperature, and the amount of reagent-based waste, but enhance the selectivity of the reaction and avoid undesired side products, to quire a green technology [1]. Nanomaterials are used as catalysts in organic transformations to improve the selectivity and yield of various organic reactions and verify the aspects of green organic synthesis.…”
