Heterocycles are widely utilized organic molecules as they often contain bioactivity that is useful in drug development, agriculture, and other applications. However, their synthesis or functionalization still remains challenging with difficulty to control functional groups. With a greater focus on sustainable synthesis practices, there is a need to develop green synthetic methods for the preparation of these molecules. This series aims to do so, by collecting developments into common themes.

Fachgebiete
Multicomponent synthesis may provide new and green routes for obtaining bioactive heterocycles. These methods produce less organic waste due to no longer removing solvent and other components between reaction steps. It can be applied to the synthesis of heterocycles with reactions such as the Biginelli reaction. This book explores the use of multi-component reactions for various heterocyclic structures with bioactivity.
The solvent-free approach provides green and alternative synthetic methods for obtaining diverse bioactive heterocycles. The solvent is frequently the primary component of synthetic protocol and contributes to significant waste. Additionally, its removal processes are energy intensive and substantial. This book explores different solvent-free procedures for efficiently synthesising heterocyclic analogues of immense biological importance and other applications.
Non-conventional synthetic methods may provide new and green methods for the preparation of bioactive heterocycles. These methods, such as microwave and ultrasound assisted synthesis, biocatalysis, photochemistry and electrosynthesis use less energy and may produce less waste to get the desired products when compared to traditional methods. This book explores the use of these methods when synthesizing various biologically relevant heterocyclic scaffolds.
