Research Interests: Application of green chemistry principles in the innovative design and synthesis of (homogeneous and heterogenized) catalysts towards the development of efficient catalytic processes of industrial significance such as the sustainable synthesis of large-scale commodities (e.g., acetic and adipic acids) or the production of fuels from captured carbon dioxide; Preferred catalysts are C-scorpionate metal complexes; Molecular electrochemistry

About This Topic

Heterocyclic motifs are unique precursors for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals particularly. The development of procedures to prepare heterocycles is of great importance in synthesis of organic compounds, especially the heterocycles which can be found in natural products. Recently, organic synthesis has been attracted towards the development of new environmental friendly procedures to achieve the goals of green chemistry. The fundamental aspects of green chemistry are use of green catalysts and environmental benign solvents under mild conditions. This special issue welcomes letters, research articles, reviews and perspectives on the use of green catalysts for synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds.

Keywords

Green catalysts, Heterocycles, Solid acid catalysts, Green Chemistry

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.
