Green Chemistry ― Synthesis of Bioactive Heterocycles

The book presents a succinct summary of methods for the synthesis and biological activities of various different-sized bioactive heterocycles using different green chemistry synthetic methodologies, like microwave, ultrasonic, water mediated, ionic liquids, etc. The book also provides an insight of how green chemistry techniques are specific to the bioactive heterocyclic compounds.

Dr. K. L. Ameta received his doctorate degree in Organic Chemistry from M. L. Sukhadia University, Udaipur, India in the year 2002. Presently, he is working as Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Faculty of Arts, Science and Commerce, Mody Institute of Technology and Science (Deemed University) Lakshmangarh, Rajasthan, India. He has vast experience of teaching both graduate and postgraduate level students. His research area involves synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of different sized bioactive heterocyclic systems.
