“…18 Protocols based on TMSCN often require variety of Lewis or Bronsted acid catalyst such as Pr(OTf) 3 , 19 Yb(OTf), 20 Cu(OTf) 2 32 Montmorillonite KSF, 33 polymer-supported Sc(OTf) 3,34 silica-supported heteropoly acids, 35 cellulose sulfuric acid, 36 alumina supported tungstosilicic acid, 37 SBA-15 supported sulfonic acid, 38 sulfamic acid functionalized magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles, 39 H 2 SO 4/ Silica gel, 40 silica-bonded S-sulfonic acid, 41 sulphated tungstate, 42 MCM-41 anchored sulfonic acid, 43 nano magnetic sulfated zirconia, 44 sulfamic acid, 45 and xanthan sulfuric acid. 46 However, many of these methods suffer from several shortcomings such as low reactivity, unsatisfactory yields, moisture sensitive nature, longer reaction time, harsh reaction conditions, tedious workup, generation of toxic byproducts, use of expensive, metal-based, corrosive/toxic catalysts or reagent.…”
