The large-scale production of chemicals to meet various societal
needs has created environmental pollution, including pollution from
byproducts and improper disposal of waste. With the world facing
adverse consequences due to this pollution, green chemistry is
increasingly being viewed as a means to address this concern.
Since most organic syntheses require toxic solvents, more
reaction time, and drastic conditions of temperature, conventional
methods of organic synthesis are less preferred. Microwave-assisted
organic synthesis is considered to be a promising green chemical
approach because it reduces reaction time from days or hours to
minutes or even seconds, and has many other advantages. It helps
reduce side reactions and increase yields, uses fewer solvents or
is almost solvent-free, has solid supported reactions, and improves
purity.
This book s main focus is microwave-assisted organic synthesis
processes, particularly various reactions such as cycloaddition,
rearrangement, elimination, substitution, oxidation, reduction,
condensation, coupling, polymerization, nanomaterials, synthesis of
heterocycles, and industrial applications under microwave
irradiation. The time is not far off when this methodology will
virtually replace existing and cumbersome methods of organic
synthesis."
