Abstract

Due to the alarming environmental hazards of the production of fine chemicals, medicines, and various kinds of compounds and minerals, the development of environmentally-friendly catalytic techniques has recently become of special interest. Accordingly, intensive research work was carried out in pursuit of abundant and sustainable catalysts that are eco- friendly. In particular, the employment of nano-nickel ferrite as a catalyst mitigates the waste impact of the and provides affordable synthetic approaches. This review paper addresses the recent advancements in synthetic organic processes that use nano-nickel ferrites as eco-friendly catalysts. In this review, we go over a number of frequently performed chemical reactions with nano-nickel ferrite acting as a catalyst. These include C-C and C-X (X = N, O, S) cross-coupling, cycloaddition, C-H annulation/functionalization, hydrogenation, aldehyde/ketone alkylation, oxidation, functional group removal and synthesis of heterocycles etc. The review paper also highlights the mechanistic course of reactions, recyclability protocols, synthetic processes, and their applications in organic synthesis.
