A Recent Progress in Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds Containing Nitrogen, Sulphur and Oxygen

Abstract

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds has constituted a major part of research in medicinal chemistry. In the last two decades, many of the heterocyclic rings were prepared with appreciable yield by using microwave-assisted synthesis. These rings are central core in a heterocyclic compound that offers different pharmacological activities to the needy. In recent times, the majority of the heterocyclic compounds are synthesized by researchers using this technique and satisfied with the quality and quantity of the product obtained from the respective raw materials. But, there is no review concerning about recent preparation of heterocyclic compounds using microwave-assisted synthesis. In the presented study, an attempt had been made to found out the newer heterocyclic compounds using microwave-assisted synthesis and their biological activities. This review emphasizes the two decades of research work on the preparation of heterocyclic compounds by using microwave-assisted synthesis.
