Since the introduction of controlled, precise microwave reactors, microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) has had a significant impact on synthetic chemistry. Reductions in reaction time, increases in yield, and suppression of side product formation have all been described for microwave conditions relative to conventional thermal heating. Microwave synthesis allows one to determine the optimum conditions for carrying out an organic synthesis in one day. This presentation describes the synthesis of organic nitrogen heterocycles using a CEM reactor.
