Commercially available Amberlyst-15 has played an important role in organic synthesis. This review summarizes the versatile synthetic applications of Amberlyst-15 in different chemical transformations. Reactions include esterification, transesterification, Michael addition, aza-Michael addition, Prins cyclization, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, acylation, metal free hydroarylation, hydroalkylation, halogenation, protection of carbonyls, amines, deprotection of acetals, acetates, Boc-protected amines, cleavage of epoxides, crossed-aldol condensation, synthesis of quinolines, pyrazolines, indolinones, acridines, calix[4]pyrroles, xanthenes, coumarins, benzopyrans theaspirane, furans, and substituted phosphonates. Applications of this catalyst allow mild and highly selective transformations and synthesis in a facile and environmentally friendly manner. The catalysts can be regenerated and recycled.
