In microwave-assisted organic synthesis, the question of microwave effects is still debated. Proper examination of these hypothesized phenomena is encumbered by some specific features of microwave heating. We devise a convenient method to eliminate most of the irreproducibility observed in microwave-heated organic transformations by thermal conditioning of the microwave reactor cavity. To show the utility of this approach, we investigated a reaction of 2-chloropyridine, in which microwave conditions were shown to be beneficial by previous studies. Using our method to ensure proper reproducibility together with fibre optic temperature measurement, the observed differences were traced back to large hidden thermal differences, while non-thermal effects could not be detected in the comparison experiments.

The microwave-assisted CH4decomposition over a pyrolysis residue of sewage sludge (PRSS), which acted as a microwave receptor and a low-cost catalyst without further activation, was investigated in a multimode microwave reactor. The results indicated that the microwave heating of PRSS is heavily influenced by atmosphere. The PRSS temperature in CH4, N2and H2atmosphere follow the sequence ofTCH4<TH2<TN2. PRSS shows excellent initial activity for methane decomposition, but it deactivated very quickly. It was inferred that the fast deactivation of PRSS was mainly caused by temperature falling in CH4atmosphere.

The use of microwave heating is a valuable tool for synthetic chemists. Being able to reduce reaction times and to increase product yield, this methodology offers to organic chemists the potential to optimize reaction processes. Additionally, microwave-assisted reactions provide more environmentally friendly reaction conditions. In this report, we describe results in the optimization of several organic reactions employed in the synthesis of various chiral molecules such as heterocycles, β-amino acids, and β-peptides, among others.

Microwave-assisted organic transformation (MAOR) is presently gaining wide popularity in the field of organic synthesis. The conventional heating technique is gradually being removed from the laboratory and a novel microwave heating technique established to be used in both academia and industry. As compared to the classical organic methodology, the green technology tools have several advantages like dramatically reduced reaction times, improved yields, site selectivity, and the increased product purities with simplification of work-up procedures. In the current study, we have briefly described the overview of recent developments and applications of microwave irradiation in organic transformation with schematic compiling of the organic reactions, bioactive heterocyclic compounds, and so on. This review also presents a critical analysis of the various advantages of microwave irradiation in organic synthesis/transformation compared to the classical or conventional heating. So, we believe that our current study of the green microwave heating technique will be highly beneficial for the researchers from both academia and industry in their near future.

Microwave-assisted organic chemistry is reviewed in the context of the methods employed. A range of technical difficulties indicated that specifically designed reactors were required. Hence, the CSIRO continuous microwave reactor (CMR) and microwave batch reactor (MBR) were developed for organic synthesis. On the laboratory scale, they operated at temperatures (pressures) up to 200°C (1400 kPa) and 260°C (10 MPa), respectively. Advantages and applications of the units are discussed, along with safety issues. Features include the capability for rapid, controlled heating and cooling of reaction mixtures, and elimination of wall effects. Concurrent heating and cooling, and differential heating were unique methodologies introduced to organic synthesis through the MBR. Applications of the microwave reactors for optimizing high-temperature preparations, e.g, the Willgerodt reaction and the Fischer indole synthesis, were demonstrated. Water was a useful pseudo-organic solvent, applicable to environmentally benign synthetic chemistry.

Abstract:: Mesoporous silica nanomaterials provide an extraordinary advantage for making new and superior heterogeneous catalysts because of their surface silanol groups. The functionalized mesoporous SBA-15, such as acidic, basic, BrÖnsted, lewis acid, and chiral catalysts, are used for a wide range of organic synthesis. The importance of the chiral ligands, which were immobilized on the SBA-15, was mentioned in this review to achieve chiral products as valuable target molecules. Herein, their synthesis and application in different organic transformations are reviewed from 2016 till date 2020.
