摘要
Heterogeneous porous carbon(PC)materials have gained unique importance in the catalysis community due to their captivating properties,including high specific surface area,tunable porosity,and function-ality.PC can play a prominent role in the sustainable synthesis of functional heterocycles,as they are a low-cost alternative while being an efficient and user-friendly material.This review examines the prepa-ration and applicability of these carbonaceous materials used as catalysts or support for biologically active heterocycles synthesis,including hydrogenation,oxidation,oxidative dehydrogenation,cross-coupling,and other organic reactions.Moreover,the challenges,potential future development directions,and opportuni-ties in the synthesis of potent bioactive heterocycles over PC materials have been addressed.This review will inspire further research to explore novel PC materials and their implications in heterocyclization.
