Magnetic nanoparticle-supported glutathione: a conceptually sustainable organocatalyst

Vivek Polshettiwar, Babita Baruwati and Rajender S. Varma

A conceptually novel nanoparticle-supported and magnetically recoverable organocatalyst has been developed, which is readily prepared from inexpensive starting materials in a truly sustainable manner; which catalyzes the Paal–Knorr reaction with high yield in pure aqueous medium that avoids the use of toxic organic solvents, even in the workup step.
