About this title

Synopsis

Microwaves in Organic Synthesis provides an in-depth overview in the area of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry of the microwave technology in separation, purification and extraction of medicinal, biological, and organic compounds.This book methodically explores the application of microwaves in all types of organic synthesis. It includes stereoselectivity, regioselectivity, oxidation, reduction, protection, deprotection, addition, condensation, coupling, C-X bond formation, named reactions, heterocyclic, biological drugs, fluoro-organics and polymers. After a brief introduction discusses the main parameters which influence the process, and the limitations and advantages of the practical use of microwave in organic synthesis. This book is a vital resource on green chemistry technologies for students and academic researchers, R& D professionals, students and university professors working in the field of organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry and chemical engineering.

About the Authors

Prof. Dr. Rajender Boddula currently serves as an Associate Professor, in the School of Sciences, at Woxsen University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He is also an Adjunct Professor, at Graphic Era Hill University, in India. He attained his MSc in Organic Chemistry, (Kakatiya University, 2008) and PhD from Kakatiya University and CSIR–Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India (2014). His doctoral work focused on polyaniline-based materials for supercapacitor and catalytic applications, which laid a strong interdisciplinary foundation for his research career. Following his doctorate, Dr. Boddula pursued a distinguished postdoctoral trajectory across several major global research centers. He was awarded the Chinese Academy of Sciences President’s International Fellowship (CAS-PIFI) and conducted research at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, in Beijing. He further refined his expertise as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Tsing-Hua University, in Taiwan, and at the Center for Advanced Materials, at Qatar University. His postdoctoral work encompassed advanced novel nanomaterials, drug delivery, catalysis, hydrogen energy, and CO₂ valorization, driving sustainable solutions for energy and environmental challenges. Professor Boddula’ s major research interests span next-gen materials, green catalysis, environmental remediation, sustainable energy conversion & storage technologies, and hydrogen energy.

Prof. Abdullah M. Asiri is the Head of the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University since October 2009 and he is the founder and the Director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR) since 2010 till date. He is the Professor of Organic Photochemistry. His research interest covers color chemistry, synthesis of novel photochromic and thermochromic systems, synthesis of novel coloring matters and dyeing of textiles, materials chemistry, nanochemistry and nanotechnology, polymers and plastics. A major achievement of Prof. Asiri is the discovery of tribochromic compounds, a class of compounds which change from slightly or colorless to deep colored when subjected to small pressure or when grind. This discovery was introduced to the scientific community as a new terminology published by IUPAC in 2000. This discovery was awarded a patent from European Patent office and from UK patent. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of various journals of international repute. He is the Vice- President of Saudi Chemical Society (Western Province Branch). He holds four USA patents, more than 800 Publications in international journals, seven book chapters, and ten books
