Ultrasound and Nano-Catalysts: An Ideal and Sustainable Combination to Carry out Diverse Organic Transformations

The nano-sized catalysts are more effective than the traditional homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts in bulk state. On the other hand, ultrasound-assisted strategy offers several advantages such as higher reaction rates, better yields, cost effective, environmentally benign as compared to traditional methods. Therefore, a fruitful combination of nano-catalyst and ultrasound is one of the effective tools to carry out diverse organic transformations. The present review deals with the latest developments on various nano-particles catalyzed organic synthesis under the influence of ultrasonic irradiation.
