A brief synopsis of the research work carried out till 30th

NOV 2014

Green chemistry emphasizes the development of environmentally benign chemical processes

and technologies. Multi-component reactions (MCR) are processes in which three or more

reactants are combined in a single chemical step to produce products that incorporate substantial

portions of all the reactants. These reactions are effective in building highly functionalized

small organic molecules from readily available starting materials coupled with minimization of

time, labor, cost and waste production. Hence, the development of MCR protocols for the

synthesis of heterocyclic compounds has attracted significant interest.

My laboratory has been engaged in the chemical synthesis of bioactive molecules using energy

efficient microwave and ultrasound techniques and under the solvent-free condition. In the past

few years my group has done appreciable work in this field and we have synthesized small

libraries of the following bioactive molecules using Green Chemistry protocols:

1). 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones;

2). Pyranopyrazoles;

3). 1,2-Dihydro-1-arylnaphtho[1,2e][1,3]oxazine-3-ones;

4). N,N'-Disubstituted ureas/thioureas;

5). Substituted Quinolines;

6). 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/-thiones;

7). 2-Aminobenzochromenes;

8).1-Amidoalkyl-2-naphthylamines;

9). Pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4,7-triones;

10). Dihydro-1H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-ones;

11). Tetrahydrobenzo[c]xanthene-11-ones;

12). Octahydroquinazolin-2,5-diones;

13). 1,4-Dihydropyridines;

14). 1,2,4,5-Tetraarylimidazoles;

15). 5-Aryl-1H-tetrazoles;

16). 3,5-Bis-(arylmethylidene)-tetrahydropyran-4-ones;

17). Aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes.

18). 9-aryl-hexahydroacridine-1,8-diones
