Greener routes to organics and nanomaterials: Sustainable applications of nanocatalysts

摘要: Sustainable synthetic activity involving alternate energy input and greener reaction medium under aqueous or solvent-free conditions is summarized. This includes the syn thesis of heterocyclic compounds, coupling reactions, a variety reactions catalyzed by basic water recyclable reusable magnetic nanocatalysts in media using microwave (MW) irradiation. Micropine-structured catalysts nanoferrites their postsynthetic modification with ligands other nanometals serve as sustainable benign media. The strategic approach attempts to fulfill most green chemistry principles comprehensive manner aims create functional chemicals that may find large-scale use significant waste minimization.
