About This Topic
Heterocyclic motifs are unique precursors for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals particularly. The development of procedures to prepare heterocycles is of great importance in synthesis of organic compounds, especially the heterocycles which can be found in natural products. Recently, organic synthesis has been attracted towards the development of new environmental friendly procedures to achieve the goals of green chemistry. The fundamental aspects of green chemistry are use of green catalysts and environmental benign solvents under mild conditions. This special issue welcomes letters, research articles, reviews and perspectives on the use of green catalysts for synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds.
Keywords
