review on green multicomponent synthesis of heterocyclic compounds

Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds are of very much concern in our daily life. These compounds constitute the largest and most varied family of organic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds have one or more hetero atoms in their structure., Day by day the number is increasing rapidly due to the enormous synthetic research and also their synthetic utility. They may be cyclic or non-cyclic in nature. They are predominantly used as pharmaceuticals, as agrochemicals and as veterinary products. They also find applications as sanitizers, developers, antioxidants, as corrosion inhibitors, as copolymers, dye stuff and anticancer drugs. They are used as vehicles in the synthesis of other organic compounds. In this review, we cover most biological active heterocyclic compounds that it’s recently synthesized or extracted from the plants e.g. antibiotics such as penicillin’s, cephalosporin; alkaloids such as vinblastine, morphine, reserpine etc. have heterocyclic moiety.
