Heterocycles represent the largest diversity of organic compounds with signifcant chemical, biomedical, and industrial applications. They exist in numerous natural products, dyes, and as scaffolds in diverse drugs and related pharmaceutically active substances. Substantial attention has been paid to develop various elegant methods to synthesize heterocycles. Among different strategies, Michael and Hantzsch reactions are considered as effective approaches for construction of heterocycles and their corresponding fused derivatives. This review covers this area especially in the last 10 years. The heterocyclic systems reported in this review are classified according to the kind of the heterocyclic systems.
