Over the past decade, heterocyclic compounds and their derivatives have emerged as
promising substances with potential pharmacological applications due to their interesting biological
properties. The significance of heterocyclic compounds in drug discovery and development is evident from the fact that a majority of drugs in the pharmaceutical market incorporate heterocyclic
compounds as active substances or ingredients. Various synthetic methods and advancements have
been devised to prepare these heterocyclic compounds using diverse catalysts under mild conditions. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs)-based materials have gained considerable attention
across different fields, and their usability can be significantly enhanced via the selection of metal
cations, their molar ratios, surface complexation, and intercalation modifications. The synthesis and
application of LDH-based materials as catalysts have garnered increasing interest due to their exceptional properties. Moreover, LDH-based materials have found extensive use as heterogeneous
catalysts in the synthesis of numerous heterocyclic compounds. This review presents the latest developments in the catalytic application of LDH-based materials as solid heterogeneous catalysts in
the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, covering literature published from 2018 to 2023.
