Nano-magnetite (Fe3O4) as a support for recyclable catalysts in the development of sustainable methodologies
TL;DR: The functionalized magnetically retrievable catalysts or nanocatalysts that are increasingly being used in catalysis, green chemistry and pharmaceutically significant reactions are summarized in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benign by design: catalyst-free in-water, on-water green chemical methodologies in organic synthesis
TL;DR: Various named reactions, multi-component reactions and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds are discussed including the use of various energy input systems such as microwave- and ultrasound irradiation, among others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solvent-free and catalysts-free chemistry: a benign pathway to sustainability.
TL;DR: An overview of benign reactions through solvent- and catalyst-free (SF-CF) chemistry and a critical perspective on emerging synergies between SF-CF organic reactions are discussed.
