The scope of this contribution is to review and discuss recent findings concerning the molecular environment of high-mass star forming regions. Special attention is devoted to “hot molecular cores” and their role in the formation of massive stars. After analysing the relationship between such cores and the surrounding molecular clumps, we discuss the results of interferometric observations of these objects and propose an evolutionary sequence proceeding from cold, pre-stellar cores to ultracompact HII regions.
