Microwave Heating as a Tool for Sustainable Chemistry

Showcasing the application of microwave heating in a number of areas of preparative chemistry, this application-driven text emphasizes the concepts of green chemistry. It explores how microwave heating can be used to facilitate the clean and sustainable synthesis of organic compounds, discusses its use in polymer chemistry and drug discovery, and examines the scale-up of microwave-promoted chemistry. It also discusses microwave heating as a tool for learning in the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory as well as the use of microwave heating in the preparation of inorganic and organometallic compounds, in the production of inorganic materials, and in the area of biosciences.
