Abstract
Cellulose sulfuric acid has proved its competence as a potential bio-compatible, non-toxic,
and inexpensive heterogeneous solid acid catalyst in synthetic organic chemistry. Owing to its remarkable
properties, such as non-hygroscopic nature, recyclability, superior catalytic activity and high
stability, it has been actively explored as an efficient and biodegradable organocatalyst in diverse
chemical transformations of synthetic relevance. This review attempts to summarize a significant advancement
and catalytic applications of cellulose sulfuric acid for the synthesis of a plethora of biologically
relevant organic molecules.
Keywords:
Biodegradable catalyst, cellulose sulfuric acid, heterogeneous solid acid catalyst, non-toxic, recyclability and
synthesis.
