Surfactant Aided Lewis Acids (LASCs) make an appearance as one of the efficient and substantial heterogeneous catalysts. Recently, various LASCs have been used as green and heterogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis due to their high water stability, recyclability, cost-effective nature and their ability to create stable colloidal dispersions. In the present review, we have discussed a variety of carbon-carbon bond forming, ring opening, addition and multi-component reactions for the synthesis of various biologically important heterocyclic compounds that have been successfully catalyzed by LASCs. In most cases, the catalytic activity of LASCs was found to be better in water in comparison to other organic solvents, which attracts special attention towards the present review.

表面活性剂辅助路易斯酸（LASC）作为有效且基本多相的催化剂之一出现。近来，由于其高的水稳定性，可回收性，成本有效的性质以及它们产生稳定的胶态分散体的能力，各种LASC已被用作有机合成中的绿色和非均相催化剂。在当前的审查中，我们已经讨论了各种碳-碳键的形成，开环，加成和多组分反应，以合成已被LASC成功催化的各种生物学上重要的杂环化合物。在大多数情况下，与其他有机溶剂相比，发现LASCs在水中的催化活性更好，这引起了本综述的特别注意。
