Account of microwave irradiation for accelerating organic reactions

Abstract

This account provides a summary of a chapter on Microwave Irradiation for Accelerating Organic Reactions in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, volume 90, Part II: Six, Seven-membered, Spiro and Fused Heterocycles by E. S. H. El Ashry, A. A. Kassem and E. Ramadan. Microwave irradiation (MWI) has been used extensively in organic synthesis. Application of MWI leads to many advantages, like the use of non-corrosive and inexpensive reagents, in addition to the eco-friendly "green chemistry" economical and environmental impacts. ©ARKAT.
