Microwaves in chemistry: the success story goes on
-
Wiesbrock, Frank; Schubert, Ulrich S.
- Abstract:
- Within two decades, microwave reactors have been
established in laboratories world-wide. After the
successful exploration of accelerations of reactions under
microwave irradiation, current research interests
additionally cover the investigation of alternative reaction
pathways under microwave conditions, yielding products
that cannot be obtained with conventional heating.
Microwave reactors have been successfully used in
particular in the field of high-throughput experimentation,
further decreasing the time to find best-suited candidates
for certain applications. The resulting request for scale-up
microwave reactors has been answered by the
commercial release of the first devices.
