RECENT ADVANCES IN THE CYCLIZATION OF N-HETEROCYCLES: THE ROLE OF ENABLING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

The so-called ''enabling techniques'' can dramatically promote the synthesis of N-heterocycles. Besides facilitating very quick cyclization, these technologies bring with them process intensification, safer protocols, cost reduction, energy savings, and waste minimization. We herein describe a series of efficient N-heterocycle cyclizations carried out under microwave and/or ultrasound irradiation.
