Microwave-assisted heterogeneous catalysis: An environmentally benign tool for contemporary organic synthesis

  • University of Massachusetts Boston

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Recent advances in the development of environmentally benign heterogeneous catalytic microwave-assisted synthetic reactions are reviewed. The work includes two main chapters, highlighting acid and metal-catalyzed reactions. The literature data are summarized based on the chemical nature of reaction types, such as condensations, protection-deprotection, rearrangements, cyclizations, couplings etc.
