Manganese‐Catalyzed Multicomponent Reactions for Organic Synthesis—Emerging Trends

Abstract

Manganese‐catalyzed organic reactions have received attention in recent years owing to their availability, affordability, low toxicity, and environmental sustainability. These catalysts are highly effective in generating novel compounds and are applicable in heterocyclic chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of biologically important nitrogen heterocycles. Recent developments in manganese oxide‐based catalysts have demonstrated their remarkable efficacy, durability, and sustainability in the production of important classes of organic compounds. This review covers literature from the last 5 years, highlighting the role of manganese in multicomponent reactions for the synthesis of diverse heterocyclic compounds. Finally, a summary and outlook of this exciting area of research are presented.
