“…27 Given its importance, the Biginelli reaction has been the subject of several researches and was carried out in the presence of various catalysts such as Brønsted acids in homogeneous medium as HCl, [28][29][30][31][32] H 2 SO 4, [33][34] para-toluenesulfonic acid, 35 methanesulfonic acid, 36 HBF 4 , 37 b oric acid, 38 phenylboronic acid, 39 formylphenylboronic acid, 40 carboxylic acid, 41 molybdophosphoric acid, 42 trifluoroacetic acid, 43 Lewis acids in homogeneous medium [44][45][46][47] as FeCl 2 , FeCl 3 , NiCl 2 , CoCl 2 , Ce(NO 3 ) 3 , and heterogeneous catalysts as Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles, 48 Nafion-Ga, Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , SiO 2 oxides. [49][50] The Biginelli reaction was also carried out in the presence of montmorillonite of different origins, which has undergone various modifications and treatments. In the works of Singh, ZrO 2 -pillared clay was prepared and used in the Biginelli reaction under thermal and microwave heating.…”
