Recent developments on nano-ZnO catalyzed synthesis of bioactive heterocycles

Abstract

Abstract: Last decade has seen tremendous applications of nano-ZnO as a mild, cheap, efficient, commercially available, environmentally benign, non-toxic, reusable, heterogeneous catalyst for the various organic transformations. The present review summarizes the applications of nano-ZnO as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of diverse biologically relevant heterocycles reported so far.
