Recovery and reusability of catalysts is an important aspect in modern catalysis research especially in organic synthesis. Compared to the conventional separation, magnetic separation has emerged as a robust, highly efficient, easy and rapid separation technique for products and catalysts. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles are a well-known material, recognized as CoFe2O4MNPs, and can be used as both catalyst and a versatile support for functionalization of metals, organocatalysts. In recent times, catalysis research has clearly experienced a renaissance in the area of utility of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4MNPs) nanocatalysts based on their ability for recovery and reusability; the activity of these CoFe2O4MNPs was investigated in a category of organic reactions. In this review, the fabrication, characterization, and application of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4MNPs) nanocatalysts (CF-MNPs) in organic reactions have well summarized.

Molecules that contain polyhydroquinoline structural scaffolds are N‐containing heterocycles which are of great interest to organic chemists and biologists. Polyhydroquinoline structural scaffolds which are known as calcium channel blockers have emerged as one of the most important class of drugs used for the treatment of cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases. Besides, recovery and reusability of catalysts are important issues to be discussed in modern catalysis research especially in organic synthesis. The concept of magnetically recoverable catalysts has been rapidly developed in recent times. Magnetic separation is an efficient strategy for the rapid separation of catalysts from the reaction medium. Also, an alternative to time‐, solvent‐, and energy‐consuming separation techniques. In this review, we focused on the fabrication, surface‐modification and characterization of nanomagnetic materials and their application, as magnetically recoverable catalysts, in the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline structural scaffolds.
