DESIGN OF HETEROGENOUS CATALYSIS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS

Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysts is a key tool for the development of efficient, economically interesting and ecologically compatible synthesis processes. Indeed, heterogeneous catalysts have appeared as a green alternative including natural aluminosilicates such as clay mineral and zeolite to conventional homogeneous catalysts, because they are easily separated by simple filtration and can be recovered and reused. In this review, we critically discuss the structural features of these various types of solid catalysts and their applications in organic synthesis.
