Description
Summary:In view of the increasing applications of nanocatalysis in chemical transformations, this article illustrates recent advances on the use of nanocatalysts for an important reduction reaction, the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to significant aminoaromatics with aqueous NaBH4 solution; the utility of mono- and multimetal nanocatalysts with special emphasis on heterogeneous nanocatalysts is included. A progressive trend on the applicability of nanocatalysts is also incorporated with large-scale application and their sustainable recyclization and reuse utilizing supported and magnetic nanocatalysts; representative methods for the synthesis of such reusable nanocatalysts are featured.
