Microwave Assisted Organic Chemistry

Microwave Assisted Organic Chemistry demonstrates the under lying principles of microwave dielectric heating and, by reference to a range of organic reaction types, its effective use in synthetic organic chemistry. The recent introduction of specifically designed and constructed microwave equipment, countering safety, and reproducibility concerns has led to widespread use of microwaves in synthetic organic chemistry. Microwave assisted synthesis is now established in many industrial and academic laboratories giving access to the novel chemistry that can be carried out in a variety of organic reaction types. Case studies, drawn from the pharmaceutical industry, illustrate the impact microwave assisted organic synthesis can have on chemical research.Tierney, Jason P. is the author of 'Microwave Assisted Organic Chemistry', published 2005 under ISBN 9780849323713 and ISBN 0849323711.
