Abstract
Heterocycles are an important class of compounds that are widely used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and materials. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) offer efficient synthetic routes for producing these complex structures. The search for effective and sustainable catalytic processes in organic synthesis has led to the exploration of various nanomaterials as potential catalysts. To this end, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently emerged as promising heterogeneous catalysts for the MCR synthesis of heterocycles due to their unique properties, which include high surface area and reactivity, tunable surface chemistry, excellent electrical conductivity, recyclability, and exceptional thermal and chemical stability. This review provides a comprehensive analysis and overview of the use of CNTs as catalysts for synthesizing heterocycles via MCRs and their advantages.
期刊介绍:
Carbon Letters aims to be a comprehensive journal with complete coverage of carbon materials and carbon-rich molecules. These materials range from, but are not limited to, diamond and graphite through chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphenes, carbon blacks, activated carbons, pyrolytic carbons, glass-like carbons, etc. Papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials from the above mentioned various carbons are within the scope of the journal. Papers on organic substances, including coals, will be considered only if the research has close relation to the resulting carbon materials. Carbon Letters also seeks to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to unite in finding alternative energy solutions to current issues such as the greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer. The renewable energy basics, energy storage and conversion, solar energy, wind energy, water energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy, hydrogen production technology, and other clean energy technologies are also within the scope of the journal. Carbon Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of carbon science and technology.
