Conventional process of nitrating phenolic compounds involves the use of excess corrosive reagents that impose environmental threats. Rapid and environmentally friendly microwave-assisted nitration of phenol has been employed to limit the use of corrosive nitric acid and sulfuric acid. In this study, phenol is reacted to calcium nitrate and acetic acid, which served as nitrating agents. The solution is irradiated under microwave to complete the nitration process. This microwave-assisted- synthesis is a rate- enhanced process that showed complete nitration in a short reaction time of 1 min with a high yield of 89%. Bands of phenyl ring, OH, CO, and nitro groups observed in the FTIR spectra correspond to the vibration modes of para-nitrophenol. GCMS analysis showed a retention time of 7 min for the product with 139m/z base peak with matches that confirms the synthesis of para- nitrophenol. This microwave-assisted method can be employed as an efficient, environmentally safe, and rapid alternative nitration method for the synthesis of para-nitrophenol.

Nickel(II) complexes of the type [Ni(P)(L).2H2O] has been synthesized by using 2-amino-6-methyl pyrimidine-4-ol (HP) and amino acids (HL). Complexes synthesized by conventional as well as microwave methods. Results indicate that complexes synthesized by the microwave method are more efficient than the conventional method. In the microwave method preparation time is short (4-7 min.) compared to the conventional method (45 min.). Moreover, the microwave Assisted method gives a very high yield (90%) of the complexes. The microwave method used for the synthesis of the complexes has been found easier, convenient and eco-friendly. Complexes have been characterized by FTIR, Elemental analysis, Gouy experiment, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). Complexes have shown significant antimicrobial activity.

Background: Benzoxazole, containing a 1,3-oxazole system fused with a benzene ring, has a profound effect on medicinal chemistry research owing to its important pharmacological activities. On the other hand, the benzoxazole derivative has exhibited important properties in material science. Especially in recent years, microwave-assisted synthesis is a technique that can be used to increase diversity and quick research in modern chemistry. The utilization of microwave irradiation is beneficial for the synthesis of benzoxazole in recent years. In this focused review, we provide a metaanalysis of studies on benzoxazole in different reaction conditions, catalysts, and starting materials by microwave technique so far, which is different from conventional heating. Methods: Synthesis of different kind of benzoxazole derivatives have been carried out by microwave irradiation. The most used method to obtain benzoxazoles is the condensation of 2-aminophenol or its derivatives with aldehydes, carboxylic acids, nitriles, isocyanates, and aliphatic amines. Results: Benzoxazole system and its derivatives have exhibited a broad range of pharmacological properties. Thus, many scientists have remarked on the importance of the synthesis of different benzoxazole derivatives. Conventional heating is a relatively inefficient and slow method to convey energy in orientation to the reaction medium. However, the microwave-assisted heating technique is a more effective interior heating by straight coupling of microwave energy with the molecules. Conclusion: In this review, different studies were presented on the recent details accessible in the microwave- assisted techniques on the synthesis of the benzoxazole ring. It presents all examples of such compounds that have been reported from 1996 to the present. Benzoxazoles showed an extensive class of chemical substances not only in pharmaceutical chemistry but also in dyestuff, polymer industries, agrochemical, and optical brighteners. Thus the development of fast and efficient achievement of benzoxazoles with a diversity of substituents in high yield is getting more noteworthy. As shown in this review, microwave-assisted synthesis of benzoxazoles is a very effective and useful technique.

The title compound, C11H7NS2, was prepared in high yield (87%) using a solvent-free microwave-assisted synthesis. The structure shows whole-molecule disorder with occupancies for two orientations (A and B) of 0.4884 (10) and 0.5116 (10), respectively. The thiophene and benzothiazole rings are almost planar and make dihedral angles of 10.02 (18) and 12.54 (19)° for orientations A and B, respectively. Slipped π–π stacking between the aromatic rings, together with C—H...π, C—H...S and C—H...N interactions, result in a herringbone motif in the crystal packing.

Pure amine-bis(phenol) ligands are readily accessible in high yield, often >90%, when the Mannich condensation reactions are performed “on water” or in poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG). Microwave-assisted synthesis dramatically reduces the time and energy required to prepare these molecules, typically from 24 h to 5 min. The approach seems to be widely applicable (7 amines and 5 phenols were tested to yield a diverse set of bis(phenol) ligands). Significant improvements in yield were observed for ligands derived from di-tert-amyl and di-tert-butyl phenols, possibly resulting from a hydrophobic effect. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data for the ligand derived from p-cresol and N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine is reported.Key words: amine-phenol, Mannich condensation, on water, microwave, ligand, high-throughput.
