Single-mode microwave synthesis in organic materials chemistry
Some applications of microwave synthesis in organic materials chemistry are highlighted in this contribution, including applications to Knoevanagel reactions used in the synthesis of donor-pi-acceptor NLO chromophores, and to Ni-0-mediated coupling reactions in the synthesis of poly(fluorene)s.
