C-C or C-heteroatom bond formation from direct C-H bond activation of several heteroarenes containing suitable directing groups has now emerged as an efficient and straightforward strategy for the design of complex heterocyclic molecules as well as their late-stage functionalization. The most common problem of several C-H bond activation reactions is high temperature, long reaction time and unwanted side reactio Read More

Microwave-assisted organic synthesis has been perceived as one of the most powerful and sustainable tools to accomplish expeditious organic synthesis through a greener way on account of its specific features, including targeted heating, reaction homogeneity, rapidity, possible modifications of activation parameters, improved selectivity, yield and purity, along with simpler work-up. Another rapidly growing field f Read More

Most of the traditional methods for organic synthesis have been associated with environmental concern. The transition from traditional to modern methods of synthesis is mainly based on principles of green chemistry to achieve better sustainability by reducing the negative impact on the environment and health. It has been found that the use of microwaves as an energy source in organic synthesis has a great advantage Read More

In recent times, microwave-assisted chemistry has gained enormous attraction in organic synthesis owing to its versatile advantages such as avoidance of harsh reaction condition, increase of yield, elimination of by-product, shorter reaction time and removal of wastages. Besides, water as a reaction medium further includes more benefits as it eliminates all the drawbacks of toxic solvent, which may cause injuries for our Read More
