“…Recently, A 3 coupling of alkynes, aldehydes, and aminopyridines have been developed for efficient syntheses of IPs [20]. In recent years much attention has been paid towards the exploration of transition metals (TMs) as homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalytic system like Pd(OAc) 2 [21], CuI [22], ZnO [23], ZnI 2 [24], Cu(OTf) 2 [25], Sc(OTf) 3 [26], RuCl 3 [27], [Cp * RhCl 2 ] 2 (Cp * : pentamethylcyclopentadiene) [28], FeCl 3 [29], NiFe 2 O 4 [30], CuO [31], mixed-metal oxides [32] etc. Some of the reactions have utilized metal salts like Cu(OAc) 2 , Ag 2 CO 3 , AgOAc, etc.…”
