Microwave-assisted Organic Synthesis: One Hundred Reaction Procedures

Provides readers with a broad overview of microwave assisted Organic Synthesis, enabling students and researchers alike to produce more efficient and high yield syntheses while saving time and resources. The work addresses key problems faced by chemistry laboratories in academia and in industry, that of an ever increasing need for procedures which are low-waste, energy efficient, high yield, occur over a short reaction period, and use environmentally friendly solvents. All these factors play an important role in the development of Green Chemistry methods, and in this, Microwave-assisted Organic Synthesis: One Hundred Reaction Procedures is an excellent resource for any library.

- Provides a broad overview of microwave enhanced chemistry

- Extensive references to the source of each procedure, including equipment used, full operating procedure, and associated hazards

- Includes exercises and worked problems which can support more independent study
