A new simple procedure for microwave-assisted organic synthesis under continuous flow processing has been developed for use in a monomodal microwave synthesizer with direct temperature control using the instrument's in-built IR sensor. This design makes optimum use of the standing wave cavity to improve the energy efficiency of microwave-assisted flow reactions.

The conversion of biomass into chemicals and biofuels is an active research area as trends move to replace fossil fuels with renewable resources due to society's increased concern towards sustainability. In this context, microwave processing has emerged as a tool in organic synthesis and plays an important role in developing a more sustainable world. Integration of processing methods with micro...

In this review, microwave plasma gas-phase synthesis of inorganic materials and material groups is discussed from the application-oriented perspective of a materials scientist: why and how microwave plasmas are applied for the synthesis of materials? First, key players in this research field will be identified, and a brief overview on publication history on this topic is given. The fundamental ...

microwave assisted green synthesis of α, ά- bis (substituted- benzylidene) alkanones by the crossed- aldol condensation reaction of substituted aryl aldehydes with ketones in the presence of catalytic amount of nbcl5 in good to excellent yields. this reaction is carried out under solvent-free conditions. the results showed that aldehydes bearing electron–donating substituent's on phenyl-ring fa...

This paper outlines the synthesis of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles and their catalytic applications. CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via microwave-assisted co-precipitation method. The obtained nanoparticles characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Vibrating sample magnetometer shows nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic be...

Microwave heating has been shown to influence various inorganic chemical reactions. Substantial reductions in the synthesis time for materials have been reported (1). Additionally, product characteristics and quality of materials synthesized by microwave heating are different from those synthesized under conventional heating methods. The mechanism which results in microwave enhancement is not c...

A novel analytical approach to the synthesis of electrical (e.g. analogue, digital or microwave) filters is proposed. This approach allows to obtain lowest possible degree filters with given involved specification including e.g. many pass and stop bands, narrow transition bands, high attenuation at the stop bands and low magnitude oscillations at the pass bands. Comparison to other existing app...

Introduction In recent years, a new approach called “Green Chemistry” emerged in the field of organic chemistry, to prevent or minimize contamination from the laboratory bench up to industrial production. It purpose is to avoid residue formation, saving time and costs. One of the strategies proposed for the existing products involves designing alternative synthesis steps that do not use toxic s...

Microwave dielectric heating was firstly reported on the use in organic chemistry by Gedye (Gedye, R. et al., 1986) and Giguere/Majetich (Giguere, R. J. et al., 1986) in the mid-1980s. However, it takes a long time before the wide application of this technology in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This has been principally attributed to the lack of controllability and reproducibility of the initi...
