Abstract
The biocompatibility, specificity, and consistency of natural carbohydrate polymers in catalyzing organic processes have garnered significant interest. For the production of organic compounds, a variety of carbohydrate polymers have been employed as heterogeneous catalysts, including agarose, cellulose, chitosan, chitin, sodium alginate, carrageenan, dextrin, starch, and pectin. This article provides an overview of several straightforward and efficient techniques for the mild reaction conditions catalytic synthesis of organic compounds employing carbohydrate polymers as the source of heterogeneous catalytic species.
