Green waves in medicinal chemistry: ultrasound driven multicomponent reactions for sustainable synthesis of biologically active molecules

Abstract

In recent years, the study of chemical synthesis has seen a transformation, with an emphasis on increasing efficiency and introducing novel approaches. This article ventures into the field of ultrasound-assisted multicomponent reactions (MCRs), presenting them as a unique method for synthesizing chemicals with physiological applications. Ultrasound technology is employed in these reactions to accelerate reaction kinetics, increase overall efficiency, and create novel molecular assembly paths. The study covers a wide range of applications, from drug discovery to material science, and emphasizes the pioneering significance of ultrasound-assisted MCRs in the quest for bioactive compounds. The study highlights the synergistic relationship between ultrasound technology and multicomponent chemistry by reviewing major research and methodology, as well as providing insights into their practical applications and fundamental principles. The review also underlines the significance of lowering solvent consumption and waste creation. As the field of synthesis evolves, this review stimulates additional research into ultrasound-assisted MCRs, resulting in a new era of creativity in the development of therapeutically useful molecules.
