Abstract
The catalytic transfer hydrogenation of benzaldehyde catalyzed by (carbonyl)chorohydridotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) was carried out in a sealed Teflon vessel using a household microwave oven as the heat source. Carrying out the reaction in the microwave oven produced an improvement in the average catalytic turnover rate from 280 to 6700 turnovers/h in comparison with traditional reflux heating
