Microwave chemistry is a term used to describe a process in which chemical reactions take place under the influence of microwave radiation. The term is often used in the context of organic chemistry, where it is used to describe the use of microwaves to accelerate reactions and reduce reaction times. Some synonyms for microwave chemistry might include microwave-assisted synthesis, microwave-enhanced chemistry, microwave-assisted reactions, and microwave irradiation. These terms all refer to the use of microwaves as a way to enhance chemical reactions, reduce reaction times, and increase yields. Microwave chemistry is a rapidly growing field, with researchers exploring its potential applications in a range of areas including drug discovery, materials science, and environmental remediation.
