Abstract

Antonio de la Hoz obtained his Ph.D. from the Universidad Complutense in Madrid in 1986. After postdoctoral research in 1987 with Prof. Begtrup at the Danmarks Tekniske Høskole, he joined the Faculty of Chemistry of the Universidad de Castilla- La Mancha in Ciudad Real in 1988 as an Assistant Professor. In 2000, he became full Professor at this University. His research interests include Heterocyclic Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry, Microwave activation of Organic Reactions, Solvent-Free Organic Synthesis, and Green Chemistry. Angel Diaz-Ortiz was born in Tomelloso (Spain) and obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute of Medicinal Chemistry (Madrid) in 1988. After postdoctoral research at Laboratorios Alter S.A., he joined the Faculty of Chemistry of the Universidad de Castilla- La Mancha (UCLM). Presently, he is Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry. His research interests encompass new synthetic methods including preparation of heterocyclic compounds by cycloaddition reactions in a microwave environment. SELECTED PUBLICATIONS [1] A.
