Dehydration reactions, microwave-promoted

These standard and nonstandard reactors mentioned above have been widely used for promotion of various organic and inorganic reactions and processes [717-722] dehydration of crystal hydrates [723-726], optimization of catalytic processes [704], activation of elemental metals [720], synthesis of inorganic compounds, materials [719,727a], nanoparticles [727b], etc. From the point of view of the author of Ref. 728, microwave radiation has become a catalyst for chemical reactions. Microwave use for the preparation of some coordination and organo-... 

MW-promoted acceleration of such dehydration reactions using montmorillonite K 10 clay 40) or Envirocat reagent 41), EPZG (Scheme 7, 8) has been demonstrated in the preparation of imines and enamines. Microwaves at 2450 MHz...
