Using Domestic Microwave for solvent free organic synthesis reactions: An environmental point of view

Alaa F. Mahmoud

Long time ago, it has been known that molecules should undergo excitation with electromagnetic radiation. This effect is used in domestic microwave ovens to heat up food. Some of the first tries gave reasonable results, which led to a flood of interest in microwave-accelerated synthesis methods. However, scientists have been using microwaves as a reaction methodology for a few years; no studies were conducted on using domestic microwave ovens in organic synthesis.
