Abstract

Over the past half-decade, the functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles have been applied to organic synthesis as heterogeneous nanocatalysts. Due to the magnetic properties, the functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles have been preferred over other catalytic systems. In addition, the unique physical, chemical, and magnetic field properties of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles have led to the development of them for efficient organic synthesis as heterogeneous catalytic systems. Over the past half-decade, all the researchers tried to design and develop different functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles to perform the organic transformation. In this mini-review, different methodologies for the synthesis of six-membered compounds (heterocyclic compounds) containing nitrogen catalyzed by functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles have been reviewed. This short review aims to comprehensively investigate the use of functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in the synthesis of six-membered compounds (heterocyclic compounds) containing nitrogen with emphasis on their reusability of the catalysts and magnetic field of them in separation from the organic reaction medium.
