Our Contributions in Synthesis of Diverse Heterocyclic Scaffolds by Using Mixed Oxides as Heterogeneous Catalysts.

This personal account mainly introduces and reviews our recent contributions in developing different catalyst materials involving mixed oxides and their scope as renewable catalysts in multicomponent reactions to synthesize various novel heterocyclic scaffolds under green conditions. The application of various mixed oxides and their composites in the organic synthesis is emphasized through this review, in order to reveal the versatility, scope and importance of mixed oxides and their interactions during the reaction. We have also briefed the limitations of mixed oxides as catalysts, to put forward the broader prospective in the field.
