Magnetic nanoparticles supported copper catalysts: Synthesis of heterocyclic scaffolds

Abstract

Heterocyclic scaffolds are important components in the structure of many drugs and natural products. They are well-known compounds because of their broad spectrum of pharmaceutical and biological activities. In this paper, we provide an overview of the utilization of copper complexes immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles as economical and efficient catalytic systems for the synthesis of heterocyclic molecules.
