Abstract
Synthetic routes of chromene are an area of thrust research due to its wide application as pigments, agrochemicals, cosmetics, and an important nucleus scaffold for various pharmaco-logically active drugs. The chromene nucleus is an important moiety for the discovery of new drug candidates owing to its broad range of pharmacological actions like antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and many others. However, traditional synthesis techniques frequently use unsafe reagents and produce hazardous waste, presenting environmental issues. The eco-friendly production of chromene derivatives utilizes sustainable raw materials, non-toxic cata-lysts, and gentle reaction conditions to reduce ecological consequences. Innovative methods like microwave irradiation, ultrasound synthesis, the use of environmentally friendly solvents, a cata-lyst-based approach with minimal environmental impact, and mechanochemistry-mediated syn-thesis are implemented. These approaches provide benefits in scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of purification. This review compiles and presents various recently reported green synthetic strategies of chromene and its derivatives and gives the reader a clear idea of the detailed and crit-ical aspects of various synthetic protocols described.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
