Materials based on molybdenum disulfide as a catalyst in organic transformations: An overview

Magnetic MoS2 efficient heterogeneous photocatalyst for the α-methoxymethylation and aminomethylation of aromatic ketones

“…26,27 The above-mentioned properties of MoS 2 have inspired its use in many applications, such as cancer phototherapy, 28 colorimetric detection, 29 hydrogen generation, 30 pollutant control, 31 antibacterial, 32 energy conversion, 33 carbon dioxide capture, 34 and catalysis. 35–39 However, when using MoS 2 as a heterogeneous photocatalyst, only very limited photocatalytic organic transformations, such as hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, reduction, and the synthesis of heterocycles, have been achieved. 40 Therefore, the application of MoS 2 in photocatalytic organic reactions is still in its infancy.…”
