Abstract
A microwave-assisted organic synthesis is an alternative approach towards the traditional way of heating to obtain desired bioactive scaffolds as a product. This method has transformed the approaches of organic synthesis, due to shorter reaction time with high product yields, modifications of selectivity, increased product purities, and simplification of workup procedures. The microwave-assisted reactions can be performed under solvent-free conditions. Thus, Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS) has become the first choice for the medicinal chemist and chemical biologist to use as a tool to perform organic reactions in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Microwave-assisted organic synthesis specifically results in the desired products with higher selectivity and purity which may have better pharmacological properties. In this review article, we covered the literature from 2010-till to date, focusing on the use of microwave irradiation in performing organic reactions to deliver various bioactive scaffolds.
Keywords: Microwave-assisted organic synthesis, bioactivity, anti-bacterial, anti-tubercular, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-malarial, anti-leishmania, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-coagulant, anti-diabetic.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
Electrochemical C-X bond formation
Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–X bond formation are typically conducted at harsh reaction conditions, and rely on expensive catalysts as well as the use of stoichiometric, and perhaps toxic, oxidants. In this regard, electrochemical synthesis has recently been recognized as a sustainable and scalable strategy for the construction of ...read more
