  • First Online:
Microwave Methods in Organic Synthesis

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((TOPCURRCHEM,volume 266))

Abstract

The various roles of microwave-assisted organic chemistry in green and sustainable chemistry are discussed beginning with the strategies, technologies, and methods that were employed routinely at the time the first reports of microwave applications for organic synthesis appeared. Applications of open-vessel microwave chemistry and closed-vessel microwave chemistry are presented, with sections on solvent-free methods, reactions in high-temperature water, technology for transposing reaction conditions.
