Description:
The scope of applications of microwave irradiation relates to a wide spectrum of organic syntheses with numerous benefits (reduction in reaction times, improved purity of products and better yields) encompassing advantages of both thermal and (or) specific non-purely thermal effects of the radiation. When applied to solvent-free methods (Green Chemistry) it results in very efficient and clean procedures, especially in cases involving polar mechanisms with increases in the medium polarity during the progress of the reaction and in the late transition states along the reaction coordinates.
