The demands for green and sustainable synthetic methods in the fields of healthcare and fine chemicals, combined with the pressure to produce these substances expeditiously and in an environmentally benign fashion, pose significant challenges to the synthetic chemical community. This objective can be achieved through the development of aqueous synthetic protocols using microwave heating. This unique book covers all the microwave-assisted aqueous reactions in depth, including heterocycle synthesis, metal catalyzed reactions, enzymatic reactions and nano-catalysis. Written by well known microwave experts, this comprehensive book will help the younger researchers in academia as well as those in industry seeking to explore this field.
