Many synthetic pharmaceuticals, including fungicides, dyes, antimicrobials, and anticonvulsants, are made using thiazoles and their derivatives as an intermediary. Thus, one of the main areas of organic synthesis research is the presentation of effective and environmentally acceptable catalytic methods for the synthesis of thiazole derivatives. Over the past ten years, organic synthesis in chemistry has been completely transformed by the use of magnetic nanocomposites as catalysts. Magnetic nanoparticles are very stable and easily manipulated on the surface, which can result in the creation of an efficient catalyst. The main feature of magnetic nanocatalysts is their ability to be easily separated from the reaction mixture using only an external magnet. In recent years, several magnetic nanocatalysts have been reported to produce various thiazole compounds. We will look at these methods and talk about the characteristics of these catalytic systems in this post. This review will be helpful for synthetic chemists who are interested in magnetic nanocatalysts and working in the field of thiazole synthesis.","PeriodicalId":18632,"journal":{"name":"Mini-reviews in Organic Chemistry","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140832210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cyclodepsipeptides play a prominent role in the development of new drugs and drug lead compounds, especially as antibiotics with great medicinal potentiall, and are slowly seeping into the public consciousness. The biosynthesis of cyclodepsipeptides is mainly based on the synthesis of non-ribosomal peptide synthases, and selection of key regulatory enzymes for homologue regulation and biosynthetic strategies using genetic engineering and metabolic engineering approaches. The biosynthesis method is miniaturised, recyclable, and safer. The total synthesis methods of cyclodepsipeptides are mainly combined solid-liquid phase methods, which synthesise cyclodepsipeptides faster and are easy to purify.
