Abstract

Over the years, microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) became a commonly applied mainstream tool for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. The broad range of emerging applications in this field is mainly due to the significant contribution of MAOS to the development of ecofriendly processes. Various transformations have been developed for the synthesis of N-heterocycles under microwave conditions, including fast and selective processes. Tandem reactions involving greener reaction media, solvent-free conditions, and solid-phase synthesis are of exceptional interest in this area. In most transformations, microwave conditions dramatically enhanced reaction rates, as well as provided improved yields. This account highlights the most recent advancements in MAOS-based tandem processes for the synthesis of N-heterocycles.
