Applications of Microwaves in the Synthesis of Polycyclic Six-Membered N,N-Heterocycles

Abstract

The development of new strategies for the synthesis of polycyclic heterocycles has remained a highly attractive but challenging proposition. An overview of the application of microwave irradiation in the synthesis of six-membered polycyclic heterocyclic compounds containing two nitrogen atoms is presented, focusing on the developments in the past 5–10 years. This contribution covers the literature concerning the total synthesis of six-membered polycyclic N,N-heterocycles.
