1. Introduction
In recent years, the emphasis of science and technology has shifted more toward environmental benign and sustainable resources and progress. Green Chemistry is paramount concept in chemistry for sustainability, which is the implementation of a set of principles that minimize or get rid of the utilization or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture, and applications of chemical products [1]. Presently, Sonochemistry is a simplistic pathway for a huge variety of syntheses in organic chemistry. Hence, significant features of the ultrasound approach compared with traditional methods are in higher yields, milder conditions, lesser reaction times, improved reaction rates, formation of purer products, easier manipulation and a role in waste minimization and energy protection [2, 3, 4, 5].
Multicomponent reactions [6] leading to facinating heterocyclic scaffolds must appear as Potent tools for delivering the molecular diversity required in combinatorial approaches for the synthesis of bioactive compounds and producing varied chemical libraries of drug-like molecules for biological screening [7, 8]. Chalcones, or 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-ones, are commonly occurring heterocyclic ring systems and are important structural motifs found in many natural products and pharmaceuticals. It is also known as benzalacetophenone and benzylidene acetophenone. Chalcones are one of the most important classes of flavonoids [9, 10]. Further ring closure reactions of Chalcones can be used to obtain various heterocyclic rings viz.; Pyrazoles, Pyrans, Cyanopyridines, isoxazoles and pyrimidines having different hetero-cyclic ring systems and multiple derivatives can be synthesized using chalcones [11, 12, 13, 14, 15].
The increased environmental concerns needed the replacement of present methods with new more sustainable processes which used the ionic liquids in place of organic catalysts and solvents [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25]. Ionic Liquids (ILs), as a class of molten salts, are composed entirely of ions and their melting point is around or below 100°C [26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36]. Due to short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, better yields, easy recyclability thermally stable, non-flammable character with negligible vapor pressure, adjustable miscibility with organic substrates and tunable solvating ability ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted the attention of organic chemists [37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49]. Furthermore, unique physiochemical properties that make them potential candidates for many applications in pharmaceuticals, industry and academia [50, 51, 52].
There are several varieties of ionic liquids being studied, out of them a few Simple functionalized ILs have created unparalleled fascination as they display some benefits for certain base-catalyzed processes, like easy recycling and better catalytic performance [53]. The environmentally benign basic ionic liquids are used as reaction media as well as catalysts in the development of multicomponent reactions (MCRs). Among all such basic ionic ILs [DBU][OAc] has shown the desired results. Some of the key benefits that can be highlighted for utilization of this IL as catalyst are, the desired product obtained without any further purification and the recyclability of the catalyst was found to be up to 5 cycles. The investigation of alternatives with the help of ionic liquids to conventional organic solvents is a developing research area due to increased environmental concerns.
Herein, we are especially interested in developing the potential use of efficient, simple methodology for the ring closure reactions of chalcones using [DBU][OAc] as ionic liquids as a solvent and catalyst. Chalcones can be used to obtain various heterocyclic rings through ring closure reactions (Figure 1).

2. Experimental section
2.1 Materials and methods
Melting points were recorded in open glass capillary tube using Gallenkamp melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. Checked by Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was applied to check the purity of synthesized compounds and Spots were visualized by irradiation with UV lights (254 nm) or by staining with iodine vapors. The Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were recorded on SHIMADZU 8400S FT-IR spectrophotometer and wave number is given in cm−1. The 1H NMR spectra and 13C NMR (by broad band proton decoupling technique) were recorded on JEOL AL spectrometer in CDCl3/DMSO-d6 solvents at 400 and 100 MHz and chemical shift were measured in δ ppm relative to TMS as an internal standard. The Mass (HRMS) spectra were recorded on JEOL SX 102/DA-600 using Argon/Xenon gas. The elemental analysis (C, H and N) were performed using vario-III analyzer at CDRI Lucknow.
2.2 General procedure for preparation of DBU based ionic liquid
According to the reported literature [DBUH][OAc] ILs [54] and [DBUH][Cl] ILs [55] were synthesized by the reaction of 2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10-octahydropyrimido[1,2-a]azepine (DBU) and acetic acid or hydrochloric acid, respectively.
2.3 General procedure for preparation of chalcones (3a-c)
Chalcones were synthesized according to the reported procedure with minor modification (Figure 2), the synthesized products were characterized by 1H NMR, and physical data and compared with those reported in literature [54].

3.2 Reusability of ionic liquids
The catalytic reusability of ILs was observed during optimized reaction conditions. The ILs were easily recovered as filtration after the completion of reaction. The recovered ILs were used four times without remarkable loss in activity but after that there is sudden decrease (Figure 9) in yield of products.

4. Conclusion
In Summary, we developed a simple and efficient catalytic system that can effectively promote the conversion of chalcones into different derivatives viz.; Pyrazoles, Pyrans, Cyanopyridines, isoxazoles and pyrimidines via [DBU][OAc] IL catalyzed ring closure reactions under mild conditions. A series of functional ILs was screened and [DBU][OAc] was determined as the optimal catalyst. This mild and environmental friendly synthetic methodology permitted us to synthesize products in good to excellent yields. There are many merits of the used protocol like, low cost of green catalyst, operational simplicity, obtaining products in high yield, and the catalyst can be reused without any significant loss of catalytic property up to five catalytic cycles.

These reactions have very important features i.e., short routine, high yields, being environmentally friendly, high functional group tolerance, formation of a single product, high atom economy, high yielding, no need for column purification, etc. The various synthesized compounds were prepared in optimized reaction conditions in good to efficient yields. Analytical and spectral (FTIR, 1H, and 13C NMR) techniques were employed for the structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds.

Open Access background
\\n\\n
The Open Access publishing movement started in the early 2000s when academic leaders from around the world participated in the formation of the Budapest Initiative. They developed recommendations for an Open Access publishing process, “which has worked for the past decade to provide the public with unrestricted, free access to scholarly research—much of which is publicly funded. Making the research publicly available to everyone—free of charge and without most copyright and licensing restrictions—will accelerate scientific research efforts and allow authors to reach a larger number of readers” (reference: http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org)
\\n\\n
IntechOpen’s co-founders, both scientists themselves, created the company while undertaking research in robotics at Vienna University. Their goal was to spread research freely “for scientists, by scientists’ to the rest of the world via the Open Access publishing model. The company soon became a signatory of the Budapest Initiative, which currently has more than 1000 supporting organizations worldwide, ranging from universities to funders.
\\n\\n
At IntechOpen today, we are still as committed to working with organizations and people who care about scientific discovery, to putting the academic needs of the scientific community first, and to providing an Open Access environment where scientists can maximize their contribution to scientific advancement. By opening up access to the world’s scientific research articles and book chapters, we aim to facilitate greater opportunity for collaboration, scientific discovery and progress. We subscribe wholeheartedly to the Open Access definition:
\\n\\n
“By “open access” to [peer-reviewed research literature], we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited” (reference: http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org)

\\n\\n
IntechOpen is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and the availability of all scholarly research we publish. We employ a variety of means to enable us to deliver on our commitments to the scientific community. Apart from preservation by the Croatian National Library (for publications prior to April 18, 2018) and the British Library (for publications after April 18, 2018), our entire catalogue is preserved in the CLOCKSS archive.
\\n\\n
Open Science
\\n\\n
Open Science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks.
\\n\\n
Open Science is about increased rigour, accountability, and reproducibility for research. It is based on the principles of inclusion, fairness, equity, and sharing, and ultimately seeks to change the way research is done, who is involved and how it is valued. It aims to make research more open to participation, review/refutation, improvement and (re)use for the world to benefit.
\\n\\n
Open Science refers to doing traditional science with more transparency involved at various stages, for example by openly sharing code and data. It implies a growing set of practices - within different disciplines - aiming at:
\\n\\n
\\n\\t
Promoting open and publicly accessible education tools
\\n\\t
Transparency in experimental methodology, observation, and collection of data
\\n\\t
Reproducible research data and re-analysis
\\n\\t
Public availability and re-usability of scientific data
\\n\\t
Public accessibility and transparency of scientific communication
\\n\\t
Transparent peer-review and publishing practices
\\n\\t
Using web-based tools to facilitate scientific collaboration
\\n\\t
Supporting exchange of knowledge and research materials between disciplines
\\n\\t
Supporting exchange of knowledge and research materials between scientific communities and industry.

report, the adsorption of CO2 on metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is comprehensively reviewed. In Section 1, the problems caused by greenhouse gas emissions are addressed, and different technologies used in CO2 capture are briefly introduced. The aim of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive overview of CO2 adsorption on solid materials with special focus on an emerging class of materials called metal organic frameworks owing to their unique characteristics comprising extraordinary surface areas, high porosity, and the readiness for systematic tailoring of their porous structure.

\r\n\tScientists have long researched to understand the environment and man’s place in it. The search for this knowledge grows in importance as rapid increases in population and economic development intensify humans’ stresses on ecosystems. Fortunately, rapid increases in multiple scientific areas are advancing our understanding of environmental sciences. Breakthroughs in computing, molecular biology, ecology, and sustainability science are enhancing our ability to utilize environmental sciences to address real-world problems. \r\n\tThe four topics of this book series - Pollution; Environmental Resilience and Management; Ecosystems and Biodiversity; and Water Science - will address important areas of advancement in the environmental sciences. They will represent an excellent initial grouping of published works on these critical topics.

He enrolled at today's Nelson Metropolitan University and graduated from this university with a BSc in Physics and Mathematics, B.Sc Honors in Physics, MSc in Semiconductor Physics, and a Ph.D. in Semiconductor Physics in 1987. After his studies, he chose an academic career and devoted his energy to the teaching of physics to first, second, and third-year students. After positions as a lecturer at the University of Port Elizabeth, he accepted a position as Associate Professor at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.\r\n\r\nIn 1992, he motivates the concept of 'television and computer-based education” as means to reach large student numbers with only the best of teaching expertise and publishes an article on the concept in the SA Journal of Higher Education of 1993 (and later in 2003). The University of Pretoria subsequently approved a series of test projects on the concept with outreach to Mamelodi and Eerste Rust in 1993. In 1994, the University established a 'Unit for Telematic Education ' as a support section for multiple faculties at the University of Pretoria. In subsequent years, the concept of 'telematic education” subsequently becomes well established in academic circles in South Africa, grew in popularity, and is adopted by many universities and colleges throughout South Africa as a medium of enhancing education and training, as a method to reaching out to far out communities, and as a means to enhance study from the home environment.\r\n\r\nProfessor Snyman in subsequent years pursued research in semiconductor physics, semiconductor devices, microelectronics, and optoelectronics.\r\n\r\nIn 2000 he joined the TUT as a full professor. Here served for a period as head of the Department of Electronic Engineering. Here he makes contributions to solar energy development, microwave and optoelectronic device development, silicon photonics, as well as contributions to new mobile telecommunication systems and network planning in SA.\r\n\r\nCurrently, he teaches electronics and telecommunications at the TUT to audiences ranging from first-year students to Ph.D. level.\r\n\r\nFor his research in the field of 'Silicon Photonics” since 1990, he has published (as author and co-author) about thirty internationally reviewed articles in scientific journals, contributed to more than forty international conferences, about 25 South African provisional patents (as inventor and co-inventor), 8 PCT international patent applications until now. Of these, two USA patents applications, two European Patents, two Korean patents, and ten SA patents have been granted. A further 4 USA patents, 5 European patents, 3 Korean patents, 3 Chinese patents, and 3 Japanese patents are currently under consideration.\r\n\r\nRecently he has also published an extensive scholarly chapter in an internet open access book on 'Integrating Microphotonic Systems and MOEMS into standard Silicon CMOS Integrated circuitry”.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Professor Snyman recently steered a new initiative at the TUT by introducing a 'Laboratory for Innovative Electronic Systems ' at the Department of Electrical Engineering. The model of this laboratory or center is to primarily combine outputs as achieved by high-level research with lower-level system development and entrepreneurship in a technical university environment. Students are allocated to projects at different levels with PhDs and Master students allocated to the generation of new knowledge and new technologies, while students at the diploma and Baccalaureus level are allocated to electronic systems development with a direct and a near application for application in industry or the commercial and public sectors in South Africa.\r\n\r\nProfessor Snyman received the WIRSAM Award of 1983 and the WIRSAM Award in 1985 in South Africa for best research papers by a young scientist at two international conferences on electron microscopy in South Africa. He subsequently received the SA Microelectronics Award for the best dissertation emanating from studies executed at a South African university in the field of Physics and Microelectronics in South Africa in 1987. In October of 2011, Professor Snyman received the prestigious Institutional Award for 'Innovator of the Year” for 2010 at the Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa.

Fungal infectious illness prevalence and prognosis are determined by the exposure between fungi and host, host immunological state, fungal virulence, and early and accurate diagnosis and treatment. \r\nPatients with both congenital and acquired immunodeficiency are more likely to be infected with opportunistic mycosis. Fungal infectious disease outbreaks are common during the post- disaster rebuilding era, which is characterised by high population density, migration, and poor health and medical conditions.\r\nSystemic or local fungal infection is mainly associated with the fungi directly inhaled or inoculated in the environment during the disaster. The most common fungal infection pathways are human to human (anthropophilic), animal to human (zoophilic), and environment to human (soilophile). Diseases are common as a result of widespread exposure to pathogenic fungus dispersed into the environment. \r\nFungi that are both common and emerging are intertwined. In Southeast Asia, for example, Talaromyces marneffei is an important pathogenic thermally dimorphic fungus that causes systemic mycosis. Widespread fungal infections with complicated and variable clinical manifestations, such as Candida auris infection resistant to several antifungal medicines, Covid-19 associated with Trichoderma, and terbinafine resistant dermatophytosis in India, are among the most serious disorders. \r\nInappropriate local or systemic use of glucocorticoids, as well as their immunosuppressive effects, may lead to changes in fungal infection spectrum and clinical characteristics. Hematogenous candidiasis is a worrisome issue that affects people all over the world, particularly ICU patients. CARD9 deficiency and fungal infection have been major issues in recent years. Invasive aspergillosis is associated with a significant death rate. Special attention should be given to endemic fungal infections, identification of important clinical fungal infections advanced in yeasts, filamentous fungal infections, skin mycobiome and fungal genomes, and immunity to fungal infections.\r\nIn addition, endemic fungal diseases or uncommon fungal infections caused by Mucor irregularis, dermatophytosis, Malassezia, cryptococcosis, chromoblastomycosis, coccidiosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, and other fungi, should be monitored. \r\nThis topic includes the research progress on the etiology and pathogenesis of fungal infections, new methods of isolation and identification, rapid detection, drug sensitivity testing, new antifungal drugs, schemes and case series reports. It will provide significant opportunities and support for scientists, clinical doctors, mycologists, antifungal drug researchers, public health practitioners, and epidemiologists from all over the world to share new research, ideas and solutions to promote the development and progress of medical mycology.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/4.jpg",keywords:"Emerging Fungal Pathogens, Invasive Infections, Epidemiology, Cell Membrane, Fungal Virulence, Diagnosis, Treatment"},{id:"5",title:"Parasitic Infectious Diseases",scope:"Parasitic diseases have evolved alongside their human hosts. In many cases, these diseases have adapted so well that they have developed efficient resilience methods in the human host and can live in the host for years. Others, particularly some blood parasites, can cause very acute diseases and are responsible for millions of deaths yearly. Many parasitic diseases are classified as neglected tropical diseases because they have received minimal funding over recent years and, in many cases, are under-reported despite the critical role they play in morbidity and mortality among human and animal hosts. The current topic, Parasitic Infectious Diseases, in the Infectious Diseases Series aims to publish studies on the systematics, epidemiology, molecular biology, genomics, pathogenesis, genetics, and clinical significance of parasitic diseases from blood borne to intestinal parasites as well as zoonotic parasites. We hope to cover all aspects of parasitic diseases to provide current and relevant research data on these very important diseases. In the current atmosphere of the Coronavirus pandemic, communities around the world, particularly those in different underdeveloped areas, are faced with the growing challenges of the high burden of parasitic diseases. At the same time, they are faced with the Covid-19 pandemic leading to what some authors have called potential syndemics that might worsen the outcome of such infections.
