“…The recently reported methods mostly employed homogeneous catalysts that require special work‐up and separation techniques for the recovery and recycling from the reaction environment. Some other catalysts such as mesoporous titania‐iron(III) oxide, CuO/silica, β‐cyclodextrin, Pt‐TiO 2 , α‐MoO 3 nanobelts, Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 /(CH 2 ) 3 N + Me 3 Br − 3 core–shell nanoparticles, and Fe 3 O 4 ‐SiO 2 ‐(NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 magnetic core–shell nanocomposite were also used in alleviating some of the limitations. Most of these methods suffer from some drawbacks, such as the use of highly toxic or expensive reagent, long reaction times, tedious work‐up procedures, low yields of products, and, in some cases, harsh reaction conditions.…”
