: Five- and six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds play an important role in medicinal chemistry and in the development of new drugs. In this manner, there is a constant demand for the development of novel biologically potent compounds and there is also an increasing pressure to develop alternative and more sustainable synthetic methodologies following the Green Chemistry principles. Thus, the present review aims to compile the latest progress in the use of ultrasound irradiation in water conditions to mediate the synthesis of five- and six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds in an environmentally benign manner.

Alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O) is an inexpensive, efficient, and nontoxic catalyst used for the synthesis of 2-[3-amino-5-methyl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,5-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]propanoic acid derivatives in aqueous media by the reaction of 3-acetyl pyridine(1), amino acids(2)/(6), and thiosemicarbazide(4)at 80°C. This methodology offers significant improvements for the synthesis of products with regards to the yield of products, simplicity in operation, and green aspects by avoiding toxic catalysts which uphold the motto of green chemistry. Synthesized compounds have been characterized by FT-IR,13C NMR, and1HNMR spectroscopy.

A green and efficient synthesis of the title compounds has been achieved in a one-pot, three-component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes with methyl carbamate catalysed by p-toluenesulfonic acid in aqueous media to afford 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrochromeno[3,4-e][1,3]oxazine-2,5-diones in excellent yields. The salient features of this protocol are: short reaction times, high yields and absence of any hazardous organic solvent. Consequently, this procedure could be classified as green chemistry.

Purpose: The chemistry society has activated to expand new chemistry that is less destructive to the environment and human health. This approach has extensive interest and designated as green chemistry, environmentally friendly chemistry, clean chemistry, and atom economy. Methodology: There is advancement toward involved chemistry with the facts and do not prevent the properties of the target compound or the efficacy of particular solvents or reagents. The use of chemistry in a way that maximizes benefits while reducing adverse effects has come to be green chemistry. Main findings: Reduce the use and formation of harmful products or by-products. Presently maximum pollution to the environment is caused by some chemical industries. So, need to design and develop synthetic methods in such a way that the waste products are lowest and have no effect on the environment and their handy disposal. Applications of the work: Green chemistry plays a vital role in pharmaceuticals for developing new drugs which are less toxic, more effective with low side effects. The novelty of the work: The industries performing manufacturing using green synthesis methods to carrying out their productions have positive impacts on environmental sustainability. This review is looking ahead at longer-term challenges and prospects in research, industrial applications, and education.

: Reactions in water have demonstrated numerous surprising results. The effects of water in these reactions may include significant physical and chemical interactions with the substrates and catalysts through polar effects and hydrogen bonding ability. In some instances, water is also able to interact with the intermediates of reactions and possibly with the transition states of chemical processes. Organic synthesis in water encourages the researchers to follow the principles of green chemistry. Among heterocyclic compounds, quinoline scaffold has become an important motif for the development of new drugs. They are widely found in pharmaceuticals as well as in agrochemical industry. Over the last few decades, numerous reports have been documented to access quinoline derivatives with structural diversity, either by new annulation or by ring functionalization. This review summarizes an overview of the synthesis and functionalisation of quinoline scaffolds in aqueous medium. This method may encourage researchers to adopt green chemistry and to apply these environmentally safe methods in designing important heterocyclic cores.

The preparation of sucrose fatty acid ester (SFAE) by lipase-catalyzing reaction usingCandida antarcticalipase B (CalB) and its immobilized form Novozym 435 was reported in this work. The preparation was characterized in non-aqueous media with and without ultrasound irradiation treatment. A conversion rate of SFAE up to 49.60% was achieved using Novozym 435 under the optimal conditions (45.4°C; mole ratio of methyl oleate to sucrose = 6.0:1; 4.0 mL acetone; 4.0 mg/mL Novozym 435; and 24.6 h of reaction). Under optimal ultrasound conditions (50 kHz, 0.15 W/cm2, 166.55 min), reaction time decreased by 75% approximately, compared with the control without ultrasonic irradiation, but the ultrasound irradiation treatment did not affect the SFAE yield catalyzed by Novozym 435. In the CalB-catalyzed preparation of SFAE under the same optimal reaction conditions, ultrasonic irradiation enhanced the activity of CalB during early time points and inhibited its activity after a long period of treatment. Moreover, CalB was further examined using Far-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study the conformation and micro-morphology of CalB structural variations in various ultrasound irradiation treatments. CD results indicated that α-helical regions were increased and random coil regions remained at a similar level of proportion. SEM images showed small holes appeared on the surface of irradiated CalB. Therefore, we conclude that proper ultrasound irradiation could change the secondary structure and the surface morphology of the CalB in molecular level, and could accelerate the esterification reaction process.

The hydantoin moiety is found in several bioactive compounds with important pharmacological properties such as antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-androgens, anticancer and the historical action anticonvulsant. Because of these reasons, the synthesis of these compounds and their derivatives is important to review considering the philosophy of the green chemistry. In this review, we present the actual importance in the green synthesis of hydantoins and their derivatives using green methods, such as microwave and ultrasound irradiation, ionic liquids, solid-phase and solvent-free synthesis. Finally, several green protocols reported have been discussed.

Nanotechnology is the most sought field in biomedical research. Metallic nanoparticles have wide applications in the medical field and have gained the attention of various researchers for advanced research for their application in pharmaceutical field. A variety of metallic nanoparticles like gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper and zinc have been developed so far. There are different methods to synthesize metallic nanoparticles like chemical, physical, and green synthesis methods. Chemical and physical approaches suffer from certain drawbacks whereas green synthesis is emerging as a nontoxic and eco-friendly approach in production of metallic nanoparticles. Green synthesis is further divided into different approaches like synthesis via bacteria, fungi, algae, and plants. These approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we have described various metallic nanoparticles, different modes of green synthesis and brief description about different metabolites present in plant that act as reducing agents in green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles.
