Microwave reactor, examining

The book examines the scale-up of microwave-promoted chemistry and describes the various approaches and the current commercially available microwave reactors available for scale-up. It also discusses microwave heating as a tool for teaching in the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory. It explores curriculum, the broad range of reactions that can be performed, and the incorporation of green chemistry principles. 

After some considerations relating to microwave technology, we will examine microwave ovens and reactor background. The limits of domestic ovens and temperature measurements will be analyzed, as well as design principles of microwave applicators. Next, a brief overview of laboratory, experimental and industrial equipment will be given. 

Khmelnitsky and coworkers have also examined microwave-assisted parallel Hantzsch pyridine synthesis [28], They have demonstrated the benefits of microwave irradiation in a 96-well plate reactor for high throughput, automated production of a pyridine combinatorial library (Scheme 8.20).
