"Overall this book covers many areas which utilise microwave heating technology to enhance one or many aspects of chemical transformations. The text is best suited to postgraduate students and academics with an interest in synthetic methodology and serves as an excellent starting point to flesh out ideas potentially applicable to microwave irradiation. Well worth a read and an excellent addition to any professional library." -Luke C Henderson, Reviews, July 2011, No. 22, Vol 12 ... valuable for process chemists and should be read by all those thinking about scaling up a microwave reaction or purchasing equipment. - Trevor Laird, Editor, Organic Process Research & Development This book is a useful complement to literature reviews and other books on the topic. For those who are interested in green and sustainable chemistry, it is well worth reading. -Wei Zhang, University of Massachusetts, Boston, in Journal of the American Chemical Society
