The first reports on the application of microwaves in organic synthesis date back to 1986, but it was not until the recent introduction of specifically designed and constructed equipment, which countered the safety and reproducibility concerns, that synthetic application of microwaves has become established as a laboratory technique. Microwave assisted synthesis is now being adopted in many industrial and academic laboratories to take advantage of the novel chemistry that can be carried out using a variety of organic reaction types.
This book demonstrates the underlying principles of microwave dielectric heating and, by reference to a range of organic reaction types, it’s effective use in synthetic organic chemistry. To illustrate the impact microwave assisted organic synthesis can have on chemical research, case studies drawn mainly from the pharmaceutical industry are presented.
'The editors of this book have gathered a collection of expert practitioners in the area of microwave enhanced/assisted organic synthesis, each of whom have produced a series of chapters covering a variety of aspects of this burgeoning field'
'overall the balance of the book was good and I would recommend it to graduate level chemists, experimentalists in synthetic science and chemistry libraries.'
Stephen Caddick, Chemistry World
"Overall, this is a well-written, concise book on this fledgling but fast growing field of microwave-assisted organic synthesis. The book does a good job of showcasing the enormous potential (waiting to be harnessed) of microwave-assisted synthesis ... The book is replete with many good examples of the reactions to which microwave heating has been successfully applied, and the chapters are well referenced ... It will be an important addition to the few books on this relatively new aspect of modern organic synthesis. Students of organic chemistry should find it useful as well."
