Among the metal-based nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles catalysis has been of great interest in organic synthesis and has expanded rapidly in the past ten years because of nanosilver catalysts' unique reactivity and selectivity, stability, as well as recyclability in catalytic reactions. As can be seen from the research results reported in this critical review, the application of heterogeneous silver-based nanoparticles to general organic reactions has proved to be an effective strategy in the development of highly efficient organic transformations in term of efficiency and selectivity. In particular, this review revealed the powerful potential of nanosilver catalysis in total synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical molecules.
