“…Compared to conventional heating, microwave irradiation often gives enhanced reaction rates and decreases the formation of byproducts (Alvarez et al, 2006;Dos Santos et al, 2004;Marquez et al, 2006). Microwave irradiation has been used for many organic reactions such as pericyclic (Srikrishna and Nagaraju, 1992), cyclization (Rama Rao et al, 1992), aromatic substitution (Laurent et al, 1994), oxidation (Gedye et al, 1986), alkylation (Yulin and Yuncheng, 1994), decarboxylation (Jones and Chapman, 1993), radical reactions (Bose et al, 1991), condensation (Sharma et al, 2011), and peptide synthesis (Yu et al, 1992).…”
