Abstract

The application of microwaves in organic synthesis is a widely accepted tool to achieve clean reaction conditions in the context of green and sustainable alternative methods. 4 and 5 In particular, reactions using solvent-free conditions would be more attractive to perform under microwave irradiation. So, to obviate the use of solvent and to perform the Rap–Stoermer reaction under clean conditions, we have studied this reaction under solvent-free microwave ...
