Abstract
Potassium phthalimide (PPI) and Potassium phthalimide-N-oxyl (POPINO) have emerged as a versatile and efficient catalyst in various organic synthesis reactions, playing a crucial role in the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly synthetic methodologies. This review highlights the catalytic applications of PPI and POPINO in diverse transformations, showcasing its potential as a valuable tool in modern organic synthesis. The multifaceted reactivity of PPI and POPINO has been explored in reactions such as nucleophilic substitutions, condensations, cycloadditions, and oxidation processes, making it an attractive catalyst for the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
