Another rapidly growing field for the development of green and sustainable protocol is the application of the magnetic nanocatalysts. They not only meet the need for facile recovery from the reaction media after completion of a reaction but also provide the best attributes of nanotechnology along with the elimination of auxiliary substances and catalyst loss, thereby, making the overall process clean, fast and cost-effective. Thus, the amalgamation of magnetic nanocatalysts and microwave irradiation present an ideal blend for the development of sustainable methods in synthetic organic chemistry.
