In the electromagnetic spectrum, the microwave radiation region is located between infrared
radiation and radio waves. Microwaves have wavelengths of 1 mm±1 m, corresponding to …

Microwave irradiation has been successfully applied in organic chemistry. Spectacular
accelerations, higher yields under milder reaction conditions and higher product purities …

Despite the great success of Microwave Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS) there is still a
lack of knowledge about the interaction of the electromagnetic radiation with matter. In …

The discovery of the fullerenes, the first molecular allotropes of carbon, in the gas phase in
19851 and the equally remarkable discovery of their synthesis in macroscopic amounts by …

Microwave technology has become very important in synthesis and it is reasonable to assert
that there are now very few areas of synthetic organic chemistry that have not been shown to …

This review will attempt to cover the literatures published from 1988 dealing with cyclic and
acyclic azomethine ylides in which a part or the whole of the ylide conjugation is included in …

In this review, we report the important role of solvent-free conditions coupled with microwave
activation and their advantages in heterocyclic synthesis. This eco-friendly approach, which …
