**5. Conclusion**

Synthetic organic chemistry includes the synthesis of biologically active molecules and designing of potent scaffolds. Click chemistry is one of the toolboxes for chemistry, biology, nano, and material sciences. It has vivid applications in the synthesis of organic molecules, polymers, nanoparticles, biosensors, and many more. The concept of click chemistry fulfills the green aspects of a reaction. In this chapter, we have deliberated an incredible flurry of activities in the field of click chemistry inspired synthesis. This study highlights the current advancements in the synthesis of heterocyclic and other cyclic structures using click reactions. The insertion of a triazole ring with the help of click reaction increases the biological activity of the synthesized compounds. Different pathways with metal or metal-free conditions using conventional or non-conventional reaction methods have also been demonstrated in this chapter.
