Abstract
Highly polar compounds are generally heated by absorbing microwave energy. Since 1986, microwave irradiation has been applied to various organic syntheses as an efficient heating method. On the other hand, an additional effect called “microwave specific effect”, that cannot be explained by the simple heating effect, has been observed. In a solvent that absorbs less microwave, microwave energy can be directly provided to the reaction substrate, and microwave-specific effects can be expected. Some microwave-assisted asymmetric synthetic reactions have been observed to accelerate while maintaining enantioselectivity. Based on this working hypothesis, we experimentally confirmed the microwave-specific effect in several organic synthetic reactions.
