Abstract

Nanoscience and nanotechnology have revolutionized organic catalysis, increasing the efficiency of these reactions and reducing their environmental impact. Particularly, carbon nanotubes are widely used in many organic reactions such as C–C couplings, hydrogenations, alkane dehydrogenations, transesterifications and oxidations. Excellent results have been obtained in terms of the synthesis of the catalysts, reaction yields, selectivity, and reusability. In this review, we provide a general overview of the design, synthesis, and use of carbon nanotubes as catalysts and catalytic supports, along with the main strategies for their surface functionalization and doping with heteroatoms. Concluding considerations from the authors’ perspective are provided, regarding the promising use of these materials and the challenges to be faced in the near future.
