2-Pyridones are important heterocyclic compounds that are widely used in medical chemistry, and their various derivatives have significant biological and medical applications. In this paper, the synthesis of 2-pyridones as well as 2-pyridone-based compounds, such as 2-quinolones, using microwave assisted organic chemistry is reviewed. The review is divided in three parts. In the first part, mic...

Rapid and highly efficient synthesis of 2- or 2,5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the condensation of aryl carboxylic acid hydrazides and orthoesters can be achieved under microwave irradiation using an unmodified commercial over in unsealed vessels.

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...

An efficient synthesis of 3-substituted or 2,3-disubstituted 4(3H)-quinazolinones from benzoxazin-4-ones and primary amines under microwave irradiation in unsealed vessels is described.

Title of Dissertation: SYNTHESIS AND DESIGN OF MICROWAVE WIDEBAND FILTERS AND COMPONENTS Wei Meng, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor Kawthar A. Zaki, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering In the development of modern communication systems, various stringent requirements are imposed on the hardware components to support emerging applications. There is broad interest i...

We report the use of in situ Raman spectroscopy as a probe for the effect of power on microwave-promoted Suzuki coupling reactions. We find that increased initial microwave power leads to greater acceleration of the reaction but that the product yield obtained is essentially independent of initial microwave power. The application of simultaneous cooling lengthens the reaction time but does not ...
