Recent trends in microwave-assisted synthesis.
Microwave-assisted organic synthesis streamlines a wide variety of reactions that require thermal reaction conditions. The popularity of this method has made an impact among synthetic chemists, greatly increasing the productivity of many medicinal chemistry laboratories and allowing difficult synthetic transformations to be achieved under milder conditions. This field is rapidly growing, and a number of comprehensive accounts and significant achievements have been published recently. This review will focus on some emerging key areas.
