Demonstration of Green Solvent Performance on O,S,N-Heterocycles Synthesis: Metal-Free Click Chemistry and Buchwald-Hartwig Coupling

Molecules. 2021 Feb 18;26(4):1074. doi: 10.3390/molecules26041074.

Abstract

The development of new and greener approaches to organic synthesis has been a trend in recent years. Continuing the latest publications of our team, in this work, we demonstrate the efficiency of three solvents: eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) for the synthesis of O,S,N-heterocyclic compounds.

Keywords: 2-methyltetrahydrofuran; O,S,N-heterocycles; cyclopentyl methyl ether; eucalyptol; green solvent; greener methodology.
