Microwaves in Chemistry Applications: Fundamentals, Methods and Future Trends offers a number of benefits over conventional heating technologies, including acceleration of reaction rates, milder reaction conditions, higher chemical yields, lower energy usage and different reaction selectivity, all of which can improve the sustainability of processes. The book provides valuable insights into the underlying chemistry at play in microwave-assisted processes, introducing fundamental concepts, discussing the modeling of reactions in such processes, and also highlighting a range of key methods and applications of microwaves in chemistry for improved sustainability.

Beginning with an introduction to microwave chemistry, Part One discusses foundational principles, equipment and approaches for modeling reactions and assessing the outputs of those models. Methods in microwave chemistry are then the focus of Part Two, with microwave-assisted synthesis, catalysis, reduction and reactions all explored in detail. Part Three reflects on the practical usage of these methods to address specific issues, covering a number of interesting applications.

Provides guidance on the modeling and interpretation of microwave effects Discusses microwave chemistry in the context of green chemistry principles Outlines a range of important microwave methods, including microwave-assisted synthesis, catalysis, reactions and reductions

Due to their medicinal activity and potential use as synthetic starting materials, studies on beta-lactams have increased significantly. This unique volume takes readers on a tour de force from the concept of antibiosis to the serendipity of antibiotics, evolution of beta‐lactam development, and molecular biology of antibiotic resistance. These areas of research have culminated in a deeper understanding of microbiology, particularly in the area of bacterial cell wall synthesis and recycling. Considerable work has been performed by chemists and biologists to continue updating their findings about beta-lactam synthesis.Features:Stereoselective synthesis of monocyclic, bicyclic, and polycyclic beta-lactamsMicrowave, ultrasound, and solid support-mediated preparation of beta-lactamsDiverse medicinal activities including anticancer activities of beta-lactams and products obtained from themNanoparticles, artificial intelligence, and dipole moments in beta-lactam scienceSynthesis and mechanism of formation of polyaromatic beta-lactams
