Microwave Assisted Organic Synthesis

Microwave Photochemistry. Applications in Organic Synthesis

This review article is the second of the comprehensive series on survey of the microwave photochemical and photocatalytic processes, and is focused specially on the microwave-assisted photochemical applications of the electrodeless discharge lamps (EDLs) in organic synthesis. The concept of microwave organic photochemistry is an important issue in synthetic chemistry and material science, and i...

Microwave-assisted Domino Reaction in Organic Synthesis

The fields of combinatorial and automated medicinal chemistry have emerged to meet the increasing requirement of new compounds for drug discovery, where speed is of the essence (Loupy, 2002). In this regard, domino (or tandem, or cascade) reactions where “two or more bond-forming transformations take place under the same reaction conditions without adding additional reagents and catalysts, and ...

A brief review: Microwave assisted organic reaction

This review presents a summary of reactions performed using microwave irradiation. This green processes have resulted through use of less or no catalyst, readily recyclable solvents and yield that are often higher than conventional method. It also focus on the principle of microwave activation, various types of Microwave Reactor and its characteristics.

Microwave-assisted Synthesis: Review of Recent Developments

The term green chemistry is defined as “the invention, design and application of chemical products and processes to reduce or to eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances”. The major applications of green chemistry principles and practice renders control, regulation, and remediation, hence resultant environmental benefit can be expressed in terms of economic impact .It also invol...
