Abstract

The initial and empirical observation that some organic reactions proceed faster and with higher yields under microwave irradiation in comparison to conventional heating has resulted in intense and broad research in the field. Microwave-assisted synthesis is a new and quickly growing area in synthetic organic chemistry. 1 In most cases reactions that normally require many hours at reflux temperature under classical conditions can be completed within a few minutes or ...
