“…The homogeneous catalysts are alkali metal salts [3,4], organotin or organoantimony compounds [5,6], ionic liquids or onium salts [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and transition metal complexes [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. For heterogeneous interactions, metal oxides [32][33][34], zeolites [35,36], smectites [37,38], and polyoxometalate [39,40] are used. Generally, the homogeneous catalysts are superior to the heterogeneous ones in catalytic performance.…”
