Abstract

En 中文
Microwave-assisted organic synthesis provides a rapid and sustainable platform for synthesizing various heterocycles. Microwave-assisted transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation enables selective bond formation under mild, efficient, and environmentally benign conditions, particularly when using green solvents such as water and biomass-derived media. This review highlights recent advances in microwave-promoted methods for N- and O-heterocycle synthesis, demonstrating how transition-metal catalysts accelerate cyclization, annulation, oxidative coupling, and C-H functionalization. In addition, this review also discusses microwave-assisted transformations employing pre-activated C-X bonds, which further broaden synthetic access to diverse heterocycles. Overall, microwave-assisted transition-metal catalysis offers a versatile and eco-friendly approach with increasing relevance to medicinal chemistry, materials science, and sustainable synthesis.
