Microwave-Promoted Carbonylations Using Reaction Vessels Prepressurized with Carbon Monoxide

Microwave-Promoted Carbonylations Using Reaction Vessels Prepressurized with Carbon Monoxide 

Despite its great importance in industrial-scale processes, the organic chemistry community has not fully exploited the hydroformylation reaction in designing chemical routes. The explanation lies in the demanding experimental conditions 

For safety reasons, the heating of sealed vessels, regardless of the method applied, should always be performed carefully only by authorized and skilled personnel using appropriate equipment.
