Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Heterocyclic Drug Candidates: A Green Chemistry Perspective

Abstract

This research explores the development of microwave-assisted synthesis (MAS) as an eco-efficient technique for preparing nitrogen and sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds of medicinal importance. The study evaluates the transition from conventional thermal synthesis to microwave irradiation methods that emphasize solvent free, energy-efficient, and environmentally benign approaches.
