Catalytic Applications of Vitamin-Supported Nanoparticles in Organic Chemistry

Considering the green nature, biocompatibility, novelty, ease of preparation, and unique properties of vitamin-functionalized nanocatalysts, various vitamins have been supported on various nanosupports to be utilized as heterogeneous catalysts. Due to the novelty and synergistic effect of nanocatalysis and organo­catalysis, vitamin-functionalized nanocatalysts have been used in various organic reactions, including C–C coupling, oxidation, multicomponent reactions, etc. These heterogeneous nanocatalysts provide chemists with various advantages such as low catalyst loading, nontoxic and easy-to-handle catalyst, shorter reaction time, high yield, elimination of by-products, avoidance of hazardous organic solvents, and easy workup.
