Abstract
This chapter first summarizes contemporary work in research and teaching laboratories within the area of microwave chemistry, with a particular focus on organic reactivity. It then proceeds to discuss the issue of microwave energy consumption as an underexplored area in the pedagogical literature. An upper-year undergraduate experiment developed and implemented at the University of Toronto is then described, which probes the energy efficiency of a Suzuki reaction under microwave and conventional heating conditions. Finally, a recommendation is made regarding how microwave chemistry is presented to students in the context of green chemistry principles, in order to avoid “assumptions about consumptions.”
