Description:
The use of emerging microwave (MW) -assisted chemistry techniques is dramatically reducing chemical waste and reaction times in several organic syntheses and chemical transformations. A brief account of our experiences in developing MW-assisted organic transformations, which involve various benign alternatives, such as solid-supported reagents, greener reaction medium, or the use of organocatalyst and nano-catalyst in the synthesis of various heterocycles, coupling reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, and some name reactions will be presented.
