Abstract
Nanocatalysis is an emerging area of research that has attracted much attention over the past few years. It provides the advantages of both homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalysis in terms of activity, selectivity, efficiency and reusability. Magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts provide a larger surface area for the chemical transformations where the organic groups can be anchored and lead to decrease in the reaction time, increase in the reaction output and improve the atom economy of the chemical reactions. Moreover, magnetic nanocatalysts provide a greener approach towards the chemical transformations and are easily recoverable by the aid of an external magnet for their reusability. This review aims to give an insight into the important work done in the field of magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts and their applications in carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formation.

Summary
Dr Runjhun Tandon is working as an Associate Professor in Lovely Professional University. He is working as an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering and Physical Sciences, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India His area of research is the multistep synthesis of organic compounds including heterocyclic moieties of medicinal interest and preparation of nanocatalysts for their applications in green chemistry. Nano-catalysis is essential for sustainable and green chemistry in terms of use of green reagents which avoid the use of harmful and toxic chemicals, using solvent free reactions conditions which reduce the effluent treatment load, moderate reaction conditions, less reaction time and reusability of the catalysts These characteristics of the nanocatalysts have led to their numerous applications in various organic transformations.[12,13,14,15,16,17] Further, these nanocatalysts provide simple and eco-friendly methods for synthetic transformations with excellent yields and selectivity.[18,19,20,21,22,23] Many attempts have been made for the synthesis of nanoparticles that can participate in green chemistry and can be reused for many cycles without appreciable loss in their catalytic activity.[24,25,26,27] Heterogeneous nano-catalysts like zeolites, metal oxides, clay particles etc. His area of research is the synthesis of ferrite nanoparticles and green organic synthesis reactions
