Microwave synthesis has become the method of choice for many chemists and biochemists for a multitude of reactions for one reason: it simply works better. Reactions that took hours, or even days, to complete can now be performed in minutes with better yields and cleaner chemistries.

NEW Book!Green Organic Chemistry in Lecture and Laboratory
Editor(s): Andrew Dicks, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
CRC Press
The last decade has seen a huge interest in green organic chemistry, particularly as chemical educators look to “green” their undergraduate curricula. Detailing published laboratory experiments and proven case studies, this book discusses concrete examples of green organic chemistry teaching approaches from both lecture/seminar and practical perspectives. The experienced contributors address such topics as the elimination of solvents in the organic laboratory, organic reactions under aqueous conditions, organic reactions in non-aqueous media, greener organic reagents, waste management/recycling strategies, and microwave technology as a greener heating tool. This reference allows instructors to directly incorporate material presented in the text into their courses.
Microwave synthesis is an important technique for facilitating drug discovery, polymer science, chemical and materials research. It reduces reaction times from days to minutes, increases yields, and in many cases, produces cleaner reactions. It allows access to new reaction schemes, which are not possible using conventional heating.
