Practical Applications of Fiber‐Supported Catalysts in Organic Transformations

Abstract Fiber‐based catalysts have been effectively employed in various organic conversions due to their mechanical properties and reprocess ability in diverse catalytic technologies. One advantage of fiber‐based catalysts is exceptional flexibility, which allows them to be intertwined on the impellers of the agitation system. This enhances the efficiency of heat and mass transfer during the stirring process, thereby improving the reaction efficiency. Additionally, the fiber‐based catalysts can be cut into different sizes and shapes as required. This enables them to be packed into various types of synthesis reactors for continuous‐flow processing, thereby enhancing the catalytic synthesis capacity. The objective of this review is to investigate the practical applications of fiber‐based catalysts in organic conversions, with a particular focus on their utilization in spinning basket reactors and continuous‐flow processing systems. Furthermore, it is imperative to conduct a thorough analysis of the technical principles and parameters governing the catalytic process across different scenarios.
