Impact of Microwaves on Organic Synthesis and Strategies toward Flow Processes and Scaling Up
Katia Martina, Giancarlo Cravotto, Rajender S. Varma
Abstract
Microwave-assisted organic synthesis has been widely studied and deliberated, opening up some controversial issues as well. Nowadays, microwave chemistry is a mature technology that has been well demonstrated in many cases with numerous advantages in terms of the reaction rate and yield. The strategies toward scaling up find an ally in continuous-flow reactor technology comparing dielectric and conductive heating.
