USE OF FACTORIAL DESIGN IN OPTIMIZATION OF MICROWAVE ASSISTED ORGANIC SYNTHESIS OF SOME AZOLES

In the era of environment friendly chemistry, Microwave Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS) has proved to be an effective tool to achieve maximum yield in minimum time without compromising on quality. The present work focuses on synthesis of some bioactive heterocyclic azoles using MAOS. However, the synthetic reactions are optimized using a known technique of factorial designing. Here, 32 factorial design approach is used to achieve the set targets of yields and purity. The outcome has been very promising and opens up new avenues for organic chemists who face challenges in optimizing organic reactions.
