Shorter reaction times, higher product yields, and enhanced
selectivity are some of the advantages microwave heating has over
conventional methods, causing its use to transition from a
curiosity to mainstream, both in industrial and academic settings.
Microwave Heating as a Tool for Sustainable Chemistry showcases the
application of microwave heating in a number of areas of
preparative chemistry as well as in the biosciences. From organic
chemistry to materials and biological applications The book begins
with an introduction to microwave heating, the physical concepts
behind it, its application in synthetic chemistry, and commercially
available microwave equipment. It shows how microwave heating can
be used to facilitate the clean and sustainable synthesis of
organic compounds. The authors examine microwave heating as a tool
for sustainable polymer chemistry, with discussions of the use of
alternative solvents and feedstocks, the design of degradable
polymeric materials, and recycling polymers. They then discuss the
significant contribution made by microwave-promoted synthesis in
the drug discovery process, with a focus on how the technology has
been used to generate discovery chemistry libraries and as a tool
for medicinal chemists. Other topics examined in this
application-driven text include 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.
Academic and industrial settings The book examines the scale-up of
microwave-promoted chemistry and describes the various approaches
and the current commercially available microwave reactors available
for scale-up. It also discusses microwave heating as a tool for
teaching in the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory. It
explores curriculum, the broad range of reactions that can be
performed, and the incorporation of green chemistry principles. The
author maintains a website with supplemental information.
