Heterogeneous acid-catalyzed organic transformations can be classified as one of the most important aspects of catalysis mostly due to its ability in recycling. This review deals with general discussion on the preparation of sulfonic acid derivatives immobilized on inorganic supports such as silica, periodic mesoporous silica, magnetic nanoparticles, metal organic frameworks, KIT-6, ZSM-5, MCM-41, bentonite, boehmite, clay, and other inorganic supports via organic linker. In addition, application of these inorganic supports in the acceleration of organic transformation is discussed one by one. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent developments in the field of heterogenizing homogeneous catalysts with a particular emphasis on the reaction scope and advantages of heterogeneous solid acid catalysts.
