APPLICATIONS OF MICROWAVE-ACCELERATED ORGANIC SYNTHESIS

摘要

A comparison of microwave vs conventional heating is presented for a variety of Diels-Alder reactions, ortho-Claisen rearrangements, ene reactions, alkyl bromide preparations, Finkelstein reactions, oxidations, esterifications, hydrolyses, Williamson ether syntheses and other common organic transformations. In general, microwave-promoted reactions proceed with significant decreases in reaction times and in comparable chemical yield.
