Abstract:Catalysis research under bromine is a well-known topic in organic synthesis. However, hazardous
and toxic nature of bromine and its negative and deleterious effects on the human health has
caused organic chemists to avoid working on bromine. Although, in the last decade, a category of heterogeneous
bromine source catalysts (especially N-tribromides) has been introduced to overcome this
problem, nevertheless, the recovery and reusability of these catalysts from the desired product or reaction
mixture are often a laborious task. In recent times, catalysis research has clearly experienced a renaissance
in the area of utility of bromine-containing nano-catalysts based on their ability to recovery
and reusability; the activity of these bromine nano-catalysts was investigated in a category of organic
reactions. In this review we summarized the obtained results under recoverable bromine-containing
nano-catalysts with the goal of stimulating further progresses in this field.
