Closed-vessel microwave synthesis is a highly effective technique for synthetic processes today. Since the technology is not restricted to a solvent boiling point, it can be applied to a much greater ...

With the new Monowave 300 microwave synthesis reactor, Anton Paar enters the market of compact monomode microwave synthesizers. The instrument is designed to fully meet the needs and requirements of ...

Lead compound optimization and medicinal chemistry are known to be the bottlenecks in the drug discovery process, and so a need arises for technologies that allow more rapid synthesis of chemical ...

A simple diagram of the chemical process in the device developed by the research team. In their system, a solution of the disaccharide cellobiose (left) is passed through a sulfonated carbon catalyst ...

Hundreds of chemists can’t possibly share a 450-sq-ft lab—unless, that is, they don’t have to be there. Eli Lilly & Co. designed its Automated Synthesis Lab around this idea. Logging in from their ...

a. All reactions were carried out under refluxing in acetic acid. b. Microwave power is 900 W. Microwave method for synthesis of 2a-i. The tetraketones (0.1mmol) were charged in an open pyrex vessel.

Kaboom! explosions are rarely reassuring sounds. It is, however, the loud truth that the development of equipment for microwave-assisted organic synthesis has been propelled by pioneering chemists who ...

Chemical engineer John Hu operates a microwave reactor in his West Virginia University lab. The innovative reactor technology his team is developing could enable industrial manufacturers to slash ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes a ...
