AbstractChiral molecules hold a mail position in Organic and Biological Chemistry, so pharmaceutical industry needs suitable strategies for drug synthesis. Moreover, Green Chemistry procedures are increasingly required in order to avoid environment deterioration. Catalytic synthesis, in particular organocatalysis, in thus a continuously expanding field. A survey of more recent researches involving chiral imidazolidinones is here presented, with a particular focus on immobilized catalytic systems.

In the Conventional laboratory or industry heating technique involve Bunsen burner, heating mental/hot plates and electric heating ovens. To produce a variety of useful compounds for betterment of mankind, the Microwave Chemistry was introduced in year 1955 and finds a place in one of the Green chemistry method. In Microwave chemistry is the science of applying microwave radiation to chemical reactions. Microwaves act as high frequency electric fields and will generally heat any material containing mobile electric charges, such as polar molecules in a solvent or conducting ions in a solid. Polar solvents are heated as their component molecules are forced to rotate with the field and lose energy in collisions i.e. the dipole moments of molecules are important in order to proceed with the chemical reactions in this method. It can be termed as microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS), Microwave-Enhanced Chemistry (MEC) or Microwave-organic Reaction Enhancement synthesis (MORE). Microwave-Assisted Syntheses is a promising area of modern Green Chemistry could be adopted to save the earth.

: Most of the traditional methods for organic synthesis have been associated with environmental concern. The transition from traditional to modern methods of synthesis is mainly based on principles of green chemistry to achieve better sustainability by reducing the negative impact on the environment and health. It has been found that microwaves as an energy source in organic synthesis have a great advantage over conventional heating. Microwave-assisted reactions are energy efficient and hence, brought themselves in the preview green chemistry principles. The use of safer solvents is another important principle of green chemistry. The use of water as a solvent in organic synthesis has great benefits over the use of hazardous organic solvents in terms of environment and safety. This study will cover the use of both microwave and water simultaneously in organic reactions.

AbstractDirect metal-free C–H functionalization of arenes with nucleophiles is a new chapter in the chemistry of aromatics. Comprehensive studies on nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in arenes (the SNH reactions), including mechanisms, intermediates, mathematic and electrochemical modeling, kinetics, electron-transfer, etc. have shown that this is not the hydride ion, but C–H proton is departed, and this process is facilitated by the presence of an appropriate oxidant or an auxiliary group. The SNH reactions, as a part of the general C–H functionalization concept, change the logic of organic synthesis. They open new opportunities, avoiding incorporation of good leaving groups or other auxiliaries in an aromatic ring, as a prefunctionalization step, thus providing a better correspondence to the principles of green chemistry.

THE TELESCOPIC APPROACH AS A TOOL FOR GREEN CHEMISTRY. One-pot reactions have become a powerful tool for the development of sustainable protocols in organic synthesis. In particular, the telescoping of multi-step reactions, i.e., the execution of sequential reactions without isolating and purifying intermediates, reduces the number of steps while preventing waste generation. Additionally, the processes become more sustainable through time, reagents/solvents, energy and cost savings. Therefore, the aim of this work is to summarize and discuss representative one-pot telescoped strategies involving heterocyclic construction, cross-coupling and continuous-flow reactions.

The search for cost-effective and environmental benign practices for the production of bioactive compounds has gained considerable attention since last decade, due to increasing demand of eco-friendly processes. Many industries have started adopting routes for the development of green chemistry by employing enzymatic approaches to overcome the limitations of physico-chemical methods and environmental concerns. Laccase is one such enzyme which has gained considerable attention in recent years as a biocatalyst in organic synthesis. Laccases possess versatile biochemical properties and the reactions catalyzed by laccase require only molecular oxygen with concomitant release of water as a byproduct. They have been widely used for reactions such as dimerization, polymerization, coupling, and grafting reactions and for antibiotic modifications. This chapter summarizes the advances that have been made in developing technologies based on laccase mediated reactions in the field of medicine, agriculture, food, and pharmaceuticals.
