Azaheterocycles rings with five and six members are important tools for the obtaining of fluorescent materials and fluorescent sensors. The relevant advances in the synthesis of azaheterocyclic derivatives and their optical properties investigation, particularly in the last ten years, was our main objective on this review. The review is organized according to the size of the azaheterocycle ring, 5-, 6-membered and fused ring azaheterocycles, as well as our recent contribution on this research field. In each case, the reaction pathways with reaction condition and obtained yield, and evaluation of the optical properties of the obtained products were briefly presented.
