“…7 Several methodologies to check the reaction conditions, such as in a liquid phase, 8 in a vapor phase, 9 in supercritical water, 10 and in ionic liquids, 11 have been developed. 15 Recently, solvent-free organic synthesis using inorganic supports has become a popular method 16 and attracted immense interest as an environmentally benign methodology, because it often leads to high yields, clean reactions, and shorter reaction times. In recent years, molecular iodine (I 2 ) has emerged as a useful catalyst for various organic transformations because of its inexpensive, non-toxic, ready availability and eco-friendly nature.…”
