Magnetic nanoparticle-supported organocatalysis

Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-supported catalysis is a new method to facilitate catalyst separation and reuse. This technique has recently been introduced for organocatalysis. MNP-supported organocatalysts have been evaluated for their activity, selectivity, and recyclability in a range of chemical transformations, especially for asymmetric synthesis. The synthesis and application of Fe3O4 MNP-supported organocatalysis are highlighted in this short review article.
