| In this lecture, results from ongoing programs in the area of microwave-promoted chemistry will be presented. These include challenges and opportunities in scale-up of reactions, development of tools for in-situ reaction monitoring, microwave heating in biofuel manufacture and new method development for organic chemistry. Specifically - Scale-up: Suzuki reactions, dihydropyridine synthesis, Beckmann rearrangements. In-situ monitoring: Use of Raman spectroscopy as a tool for optimization of microwave promoted reactions. Biofuels: Taking the microwave-promoted synthesis of biodiesel from batch to process scale. New method development: Reactions under an atmosphere of reactive gas. |
