Microwaves in organic synthesis

Mehr zum Buch

If the source materials and products fail to withstand the usually long reaction times at high temperatures and decompose then this invariably reduces the yield. Yet the production of large amounts of waste means it is unacceptable from both an economic and an environmental standpoint. So-called green technologies are looking for alternative ways to allow clean and efficient chemical syntheses. It is against this background that microwave technology has increasingly developed into a powerful alternative that can be applied to practically the whole spectrum of organic synthesis. This volume provides those working in both research and industry with an indispensable source of information.
