Polymer-assisted solution-phase synthesis under combined ultrasound and microwave irradiation: preparation of α, β-unsaturated esters and carboxylic acids, key …
Abstract The optimal conditions to prepare α, β-unsaturated methyl esters via Wittig reaction combining polymer-assisted solution-phase synthesis (PASPS) methodology and simultaneous ultrasound and microwave irradiation were established. The effects of temperature, solvent, and irradiation time were discussed. Results clearly indicated the superiority of combined ultrasound and microwave-assisted procedure over microwave- ...
