Abstract Catalyst is very important in chemistry science especially in organic synthesis, it can greatly promote the chemical processes and reactions, effectively and sustainably synthesize products. Zinc is a cheap and readily available metal (zinc is easily extracted from the minerals in high purity). Low toxicity, cheap and abundance and accessibility of zinc make it probably attractive for application in chemistry catalysis. Among zinc complexes, zinc (II) bromide (ZnBr2) has been used widely as a catalyst in organic synthesis. In recent times, the application of ZnBr2 as catalyst for the synthesis of organic compounds and heterocyclic molecules has been reported in the literature. Now, in this review, we focused on the catalytic activity of ZnBr2 in a diverse range of organic reactions with the goal of stimulating further progresses in this field. Graphical Abstract

溴化锌（Ⅱ）（ZnBr2）在有机合成中的催化应用

摘要 催化剂在化学科学特别是有机合成中非常重要，它可以极大地促进化学过程和反应，有效、可持续地合成产品。锌是一种廉价且容易获得的金属（锌很容易以高纯度从矿物质中提取）。锌的低毒性、廉价、丰富和可及性使其在化学催化中的应用可能具有吸引力。在锌络合物中，溴化锌 (II) (ZnBr2) 已被广泛用作有机合成中的催化剂。近年来，已有文献报道了 ZnBr2 作为催化剂合成有机化合物和杂环分子的应用。现在，在这篇评论中，我们专注于 ZnBr2 在各种有机反应中的催化活性，目的是促进该领域的进一步发展。图形概要
