Catalysis plays a fundamental role in organic synthesis, and more than 80% of synthesized small organic molecules require an understanding of the basic principles and applications of heterogeneous catalysts. It therefore becomes important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of heterogeneous catalysis compared to homogeneous catalysis. In the field of heterogeneous catalysis, the ability to harness the capacity of metals to accelerate organic transformations has revolutionized organic synthesis, enabling the construction of complex bonds with extremely high geometric and stereochemical precision. Organocatalysis serves as an alternative to metal catalysis, acting as a fundamental pillar of modern organic synthesis and stereoselective. Organocatalysis uses small, metal-free organic molecules to accelerate reactions through the formation of a temporary covalent bond with the substrate.
