5-Membered Heterocycle Synthesis Using Iodine presents both old and new methods for the synthesis of various five-membered heterocycles using iodine, providing information for making specific compounds using particular reagents. Heterocyclic frameworks represent the main structural subunits of many biologically active compounds and natural products, and the ability of heterocycles to act both as reactive pharmacophores and biomimetics has greatly contributed to their unique value as traditional key elements of various drugs. Contemporary developments in process chemistry and discovery emphasize novel sustainable synthetic pathways as fast and ecologically acceptable alternatives to the traditional protocols.
This book serves as a guide for students, pharmacologists, biochemists, organic and medicinal chemists, researchers, and academic professionals to obtain easy access to synthetic protocols for different five-membered heterocycles using iodine.
- Covers the applications of five-membered heterocycles
- Highlights methodologies for the synthesis of five-membered heterocycles using iodine
- Contains the most up-to-date information in this fast-moving field

She specializes in organic synthetic and medicinal chemistry, with a focus on heterocyclic compound synthesis. With 14 years of teaching and research experience, she has guided five Ph.D. scholars and numerous MSc students, and has published over 200 research papers, reviews, books, and chapters. She is the author of nineteen books with leading publishers including CRC Press, Elsevier, and Springer Nature.
Dr. Kaur has consistently ranked among the World’s Top 2% Scientists in subject-wise analyses by Stanford University (2018–2025). She has received awards such as the Prof. G. L. Telesara Award and Best Paper Presentation Award, and has served as Editor-in-Chief of Advanced Chemicobiology Research. Beyond academia, she has contributed to rural development initiatives through NSS and UBA, and holds a Sikh Missionary certification.
Would you like me to make this version more academic (CV-style) or more narrative (profile-style) for use in websites or conference booklets?
