Recent Advances in Metal Nanoparticles for the Synthesis of N-Containing Heterocyclic Compounds

Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds are indispensable organic structures because of their promising potential applications in medicinal, pharmaceutical and other related fields of chemistry. Exploring these heterocyclic compounds by evaluating metal nanoparticles as efficient nanocatalysts have attracted the researchers over the past decades, due to their stability, recyclability, reusability rather than conventional catalysts. Most of the nano-catalyzed organic reactions are taking place in benign and under green conditions. In this mini-review, we have documented synthesis of some of the recent N-containing heterocyclic compounds by utilizing advanced nanoparticles as effective catalysts. It has been concluded that exercising these nanocatalysts for the synthesis of N-containing heterocyclic compounds not only enhanced the yield of the product but has extensively increased the selectivity of the desired products via greener approach.
