Synthesis of varied N-heterocycles and C-N bond forming reactions catalyzed by novel proficient heterogeneous Cu-based solid catalysts namely, CuI-zeolites, CuII-HT, and CuII-PMOs are addressed in this review article. The above-mentioned catalysts have been proved to be remarkable heterogeneous catalysts for many organic transformations mostly, one-pot MCRs including synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles through 1,3-dipol Read More

In recent years, mesoporous silica materials with controllable structure, tunable porosity and high surface area have been widely studied with regard to applications as excellent adsorbents and heterogeneous catalysts. SBA-15 is among the most attractive mesoporous silicas due to its adjustable pores and thick pore walls. Grafting various organic compounds on the surface of SBA-15 can improve the catalytic activity of Read More

Apatites, minerals that are involved in numerous applications in chemistry, biochemistry and medicine have shown important catalytic properties and are emerging as powerful catalysts in various organic reactions (oxidation, C-C bond formation, cycloaddition, N-Arylation, epoxidation, water gas shift reaction, hydroformylation, CH4 coupling reaction….). Apatites, in which the composition and surface properties can be tuned Read More

With the increasing environmental and societal concerns about global warming associated with carbon emission, great efforts have been devoted to carbon dioxide fixation during the past two decades. Indeed, CO2 has been widely used as a potential C1 building block for the production of various chemical products, as it is nontoxic, renewable, economical and abundant. One promising methodology is the coupling reaction Read More

Sonogashira coupling reactions demonstrates an efficient and facile methodology for C(sp)-C(sp2) bond formations via transition-metal-catalyzed processes and have found applications in a wide variety of areas including medicinal chemistry, agrochemistry, materials, electronics and synthesis of natural products, biologically active molecules, heterocycles, dendrimers and conjugated polymers or nanostructures. In recent years Read More
