“…While the reaction can be traditionally effected with protonic or Lewis acidic catalysts, there have been an urgent need to develop new and efficient catalytic systems to perform this transformation. In this regard plenty of representative catalysts have been developed for Hantzsch reaction, including LiBr, sulfated polyborate, Fe‐TUD‐1, PPA‐SiO 2 , nanoZnO, BiBr 3 , MOFs,, Cu‐NP/C, nano‐γ‐Fe 2 O 3 ,, LTNPs, [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ , and others . However, despite the efficiency of these protocols, most of them still suffer from problems including cumbersome operation and corrosive environment.…”
