Abstract

The catalytic activity of silver and its salts in various reactions leads to a vast variety of organic compounds having significant applications in organic synthesis. This review gives a comprehensive study on silver-catalyzed multi-component reactions that attracted the interest of the scientific world through ecofriendly, atom-economic and mild conditions. The silver-catalyzed multi-component synthesis of organic compounds including aliphatic, aromatic and heterocycles are divided into subsections based on the types of bond formed and covers literature up to 2019.
Keywords: Silver, multi-component reaction (MCR), heterocycles, catalysis, C-C bond formation, C-N bond formation, C-O bond formation.
