ChemInform Abstract: Microwave‐Assisted Reactions in Heterocyclic Compounds with Applications in Medicinal and Supramolecular Chemistry

Montmorillonite Clay-Promoted, Solvent-Free Cross-Aldol Condensations under Focused Microwave Irradiation

“…In this context, a particularly important area is the development of synthetic processes in the absence of solvents [19][20][21][22]. Microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) has emerged as an efficient and powerful tool in this area [23][24][25][26][27][28] and often leads to simple protocols, short processing times, increased product yields, energy savings [29] and lower costs, thereby enabling environmentally friendly processes [30]. On the other hand, methods based on the use of heterogeneous catalysts are widely used in industrial fine and pharmaceutical chemistry, and play an important role in the current bid for the development of green synthetic processes.…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles

“…The ability of MW-assisted organic synthesis to rapidly synthesize organic compounds is of significant benefit for library generation. Moreover, it allows modifications in selectivity (chemo-, regio-, and stereo-selectivity) and solvent-, catalyst-free conditions [17]. This review outlines the use of MW, highlights the importance of a number of N-containing heterocycles, and summarizes some advances in their synthesis under MW irradiation through recent selected examples.…”
