Sonochemical Synthesis of Natural Products and Heterocycles of Pharmaceutical Importance: Strategy Towards a Sustainable Society comprehensively summarizes sonochemistry and ultrasound and their applicability to synthetic organic chemistry. Chapters demonstrate the application of sonochemistry to synthesizing molecules of natural origin, organic compounds containing N-heterocycles, O-heterocycles, and S-heterocycles, and the total synthesis and semisynthesis of bioactive compounds under ultrasonication through case studies and detailed illustrations and methodologies. Other sections explore sonochemical organic synthesis under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions, and in an aqueous medium as a green solvent, use of nanoparticles as efficient catalysts, and much more. This is a valuable resource for organic synthesis experts, specialists in natural products, advocates for sustainable chemistry, and researchers and professionals working in total synthesis, semisynthesis, organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and the pharmaceutical industries. - Provides a comprehensive introduction to sonochemistry and its application to synthetic organic chemistry - Demonstrates, through case studies, how ultrasound is used for developing efficient and sustainable methodologies for the synthesis of natural products and heterocycles - Explores the use of sonochemistry and ultrasound in a variety of fields, including green chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry
