Heterocyclic frameworks represent the main structural subunits of many biologically active compounds and natural products. The ability of heterocycles to act both as reactive pharmacophores and biomimetics has greatly contributed to their unique value as traditional key elements of various drugs. The contemporary developments in process chemistry and discovery emphasize novel sustainable synthetic pathways as fast and ecologically acceptable alternatives to the traditional protocols. The development of sustainable synthetic process to substitute the efficient but somewhat old classical methodologies started many years back and such methodologies are still in high demand.  The increasing demand for fast formation of biologically active molecules has stimulated synthetic researchers to discover and develop smart approaches that inevitably address the very fundamental principles of effectiveness and efficiency. Besides the critical issues of stereo-, chemo-, and regioselectivity, nowadays, these processes also have to account economical and environment concerns of green chemistry. The intellectual difficulty to discover well-designed, concise, and conceptually new synthetic pathways has become a gradually increasing driving force in industry and academia. Since the last few years, chemists are very concerned about the environmental implications of their work. They are trying to develop novel reaction conditions, synthetic strategies, and use of chemicals that minimize risks to environment and humans. The development of harmless, atom efficient, and acid-mediated organic procedures is the most important challenge in green chemistry. While acid catalysis remains the most broadly utilized kind of catalysis, the generally employed acid catalysts continue to pose severe safety and health issues. The mild Lewis acidity of I2 has increased its applicability for many organic reactions.

Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry: Volume 34, the latest in this annual review series commissioned by the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC), contains both highlights of the previous year's literature on heterocyclic chemistry and articles on new developing topics of particular interest to heterocyclic chemists. Highlight chapters in Volume 34 are all written by leading researchers in their field, thus constituting a systematic survey of the important original material reported in the literature of heterocyclic chemistry in 2021. As with previous volumes in the series, Volume 34 will enable academic and industrial chemists and advanced students to keep abreast of developments in heterocyclic chemistry in a convenient way.

Environmental Applications of Microbial Nanotechnology: Emerging Trends in Environmental Remediation discusses emerging trends and recent advancements in environmental remediation. The book provides environmental applications of microbial nanotechnology that helps readers understand novel microbial systems and take advantage of recent advances in microbial nanotechnologies. It highlights established research and technology on microbial nanotechnology's environmental applications, moves to their rapidly emerging aspects and then discusses future research directions. The book provides researchers in academia and industry with a high-tech start-up that will revolutionize the modern environmental applications of microbial nanotechnology research.

Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management addresses all aspects of sustainable use of carbon dioxide in waste management processes and provides best practices and process improvements for carbon sequestration in the management of a variety of waste types, including carbide lime waste, construction waste, and reject brine effluents, amongst others. The book also provides underlying research on the environmental impacts of these wastes and the need for carbon capture to emphasize the importance and need for improvements of these processes. Overall, this information will be key to determining lifecycle benefits of CO2 for each newly improved waste process. This is an important source of information for environmental and sustainability scientists and engineers, as well as academics and researchers in the field who should be trying to achieve increased carbon capture in any form of waste process to reduce environmental impact.

Advances in Synthesis Gas: Methods, Technologies and Applications: Syngas Purification and Separation considers different common and novel processes for purification of produced syngas, such as absorption, adsorption, membrane, cryogenic distillation, particulate separation technologies in addition to thermal and oxidative processes for tar removal, in details. The role of various catalysts or materials in absorption, adsorption and membrane processes are discussed in separate chapters to address each in more details.
