The book presents a succinct summary of methods for the synthesis and biological activities of various different-sized bioactive heterocycles using different green chemistry synthetic methodologies, like microwave, ultrasonic, water mediated, ionic liquids, etc. The book also provides an insight of how green chemistry techniques are specific to the bioactive heterocyclic compounds.

This book covers the general properties of heterocyclic compounds and methods for their preparation to use in applications of green chemistry. Heterocyclic compounds are an important class of molecules in organic chemistry due to their presence in natural products and their use in pharmaceuticals and new materials. They also play a vital role in the metabolism of living cells. Heterocyclic compounds have a wide range of applications in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, veterinary products, etc. This research-oriented volume is ideal for readers who want to fully realize the almost limitless potential of heterocyclic compounds and to discover new and effective pharmaceuticals among heterocyclic compounds, the largest and most varied family of organic compounds. The book features several case studies and step-by-step descriptions of synthetic methods and practical techniques. It also serves as a guide for chemists, offering them new insights and new paths to explore for effective drug discovery.

Heterocycles are among the most common scaffolds in many organic molecules, e.g., vitamins, hormones, antibiotics, alkaloids, herbicides, dyes, drugs, and pharmaceutically relevant substances. These molecules are also incorporated in numerous macromolecules such as DNA, polymers, and macrocycles, where their hetero-functional units are often employed to establish supramolecular interaction. It is thus not surprising that--since the 19th century--the synthesis of heterocycles has been constantly blooming, evolving from classic condensation reactions to the development of click reactions and new multicomponent domino synthetic approaches. In the last thirty years, with the ever-growing research developments of new and atom-efficient sustainable synthetic strategies, the field of Green Chemistry has made significant contributions to the development of heterocyclic motifs. The novel methodologies aim at high process performances by means of eco-compatible methodologies, employing non-toxic and biodegradable chemicals.

The principles of Green Chemistry aim to improve the sustainability of chemical processes and reduce the generation of hazardous substances. There has been great growth in the field over the past few years and the number of research groups working in this area is still increasing. Now one of the biggest challenges is to embed the Green Chemistry ideals of safety and sustainability as standard, both in industry and academia. In order to do this, it is important to create resources that detail different applications and approaches. Green Synthetic Processes and Procedures brings together expert contributors from across a number of areas of green synthesis to cover a diverse array of subjects. Providing a thorough overview of the current green synthetic toolbox, from biocatalysis to sonochemistry, this book is a useful resource for any chemist wishing to design cleaner and safer processes.
