Research Interest:

The development of innovative, environmentally sustainable, and cost-effective methodologies for heterocyclic synthesis is a fundamental goal in green chemistry. Sustainable chemistry emphasizes the responsible use of chemical reactions to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. This study explores the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds through one-pot, multi-component reactions (MCRs) and mortar-pestle grinding techniques. These approaches minimize enhance atom economy, solvent usage and reduce reaction times making them desirable for sustainable organic synthesis. The combination of MCRs and mechanochemical methods offers an efficient, eco-friendly alternative to conventional synthesis. Biologically active heterocyclic compounds such as chromenes, acridines and chromeno-quinolin derivatives have been synthesized from simple starting materials, demonstrating the effectiveness of these green chemistry based strategies.
