Ferrite nanoparticles: Catalysis in multicomponent reactions (MCR)
Wenhua Huang, Jinglong Jiang, Tanmay Mandal
Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCR) are an efficient and attractive synthetic strategy in which three or more reactants come together in a one-pot reaction to form a new complex molecule or biological product. In recent times, ferrite nanoparticles (MFe2O4 NPs; M = Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Mn, etc.) have attracted the attention of many chemists or researchers due to unique properties such as high stability, high activity, and simple separation. In this paper, we discussed ferrite nanoparticles and their catalytic activity in a variety of organic transformations via MCR.
