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 organo-catalysis, 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.
