Green Synthesis of Biologically Relevant Azoles and Azines.

Efforts by pharmaceutical industry to develop green methodologies for marketed pharmaceuticals with title structures will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the green synthetic approaches to azoles, azines and their condensed derivatives of biological interest will be surveyed. Again employing solvent less, multicomponent atom economical processes will be described. The effort to adopt alternate energy sources such as solar energy, photo energy, electrolysis and mechanochemistry will be discussed. The role of environmentally friendly catalysis in greening synthetic approaches will be demonstrated. Several novel results from our laboratories will be discussed.

Prof. M. H. Elnagdi was born in Egypt September 1st 1941. He was graduate from Faculty of Science at Cairo University on May 1962 and in November 1969 obtained his Ph.D. from Cairo University then got Diploma in applied Chemistry from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan 1973. On May 1982 Prof. Elnagdi has got his D.Sc. also from Cairo Egypt.
