Recent advances in the iron‐catalysed multicomponent reactions

Abstract

Iron‐catalysed reactions are widely used in organic synthesis owing to its benefits over other metals. Among the important organic reactions, multicomponent reactions play a significant role due to its greener aspects like high atom economy, minimal amount of by‐product, economic feasibility etc. For the past few years, iron‐catalysed multicomponent reactions have attracted the attention of several chemists which lead to the invention of some fine chemistry. The majority of iron‐catalysed multicomponent reactions results in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds having biologically active natural products, pharmaceutical etc. These developments in the iron‐catalysed multicomponent reactions are the focus of this review. This is the first review in this topic which covers the literature up to 2020, and it encompasses the different methods for the synthesis of acyclic, carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds.

Tannic acid-poly ethyleneimine magnetic nanoparticles: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for green synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazole derivatives

“…On the other hand, the size of magnetic nanoparticles can be regularly adjusted in the structure and this particle size and morphology can be maintained even after multiple recovery 11 . In addition, the valuable properties of MNPs have made them superior and vital materials in different elds of research and technology from the laboratory to industrial scale 8 including information storing 12 , medicine, 13 drug delivery, 14 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [15][16] biomedical applications, 8, [17][18] and environmental remediation 19 as well as heterogeneous catalysis [20][21][22][23] . MNPs have several advantages including low cost, easy synthesis, high magnetic ability, easy separation from the reaction medium and excellent reusability.…”

A Mini Review on the Multicomponent Synthesis of Pyridine Derivatives

“…The need to create various pyridine derivatives is extremely great due to their importance in many fields. [16] Various metals, such as copper, [17] palladium, [18] zinc, [19] cobalt, [20] iron [21] catalyzed reactions have resulted in efficient yields. With that, microwave, [22] ultrasound, and nanocatalyst [23,24] assisted reactions are also studied.…”

l-Asparagine–EDTA–amide silica-coated MNPs: a highly efficient and nano-ordered multifunctional core–shell organocatalyst for green synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one compounds

“…[9][10][11] The outstanding properties of MNPs have made them superior and indispensable in many areas of academia and industry including information storage, 12 medicine, 13 drug delivery, 14 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [15][16][17] biomedical applications, 10,18,19 and environmental remediation 20 as well as heterogeneous catalysis. [21][22][23][24] In academia, MNPs represent a promising new tool for performing chemical reactions because they are separated from the reaction medium, comfortably. 25,26 In industry, due to importance of the cost of chemical processes and reusing of the catalysts, special attention is paid to these nanoparticles.…”
