The use of microwave radiation to enhance organic reactions in environmentally benign solvents such as water, which is inexpensive and not dangerous, represents very powerful green chemical technology both from economic and synthetic points of view. This not only reduces the burden of organic solvent disposal but also enhances the rate of the reaction. ... View all references 34. Evans , JM , Hamilton , TC , Longmanand , SD and Stemp , G. 1996.
