Abstract
Examples are presented to illustrate the great reduction in reaction time which is possible when reactions such as metallation of aromatic rings, ligand redistribution reactions, ligand synthesis, and reactions of metallo-organic species such as Al(OPr i) 3 with diols are carried out in PTEE containers in a conventional domestic microwave oven. Yields are generally of the same order as those obtained via conventional methods. The results suggest a significant potential value of microwave heating in organometallic chemistry.
