Abstract

Preparative organic synthesis was investigated in aqueous media at temperatures up to 300° C. Experiments were conducted with a recently disclosed pressurized microwave batch reactor (MBR) or in conventionally heated autoclaves. Thirty-six examples are presented. Among these, methods were developed for a Fischer synthesis, an intramolecular aldol condensation that was scaled up, decarboxylation of indole-2-carboxylic acid, Rupe ...
