Reaction Pathfinder

Accordingly, it is valid to claim the joint onset of micro-reaction technology in 1995 and to try to name those who were the pathfinders in this development (see, e.g., [3] for a description of such an opinion). Regarding the birth of micro-reaction... 

As a starting point for reaction optimization, Biotage offers a microwave reaction database (Emrys PathFinder) with ca. 4000 validated entries for microwave chemistry performed with Biotage single-mode instruments. 

This volume introduces researchers, teachers and students, both experts and novices, to an exciting field of innovative methodology. I am most grateful to the team of distinguished experts who have contributed by writing a chapter and we dedicate this volume to all pioneers and pathfinders of cascade reactions and future adventurers and scouts ready to explore yet unknown fields and to find new routes to complex structures by transition metal-catalyzed cascades.
