Microwave-Enhanced Synthesis

Microwave-enhanced synthesis uses microwave radiation to accelerate chemical reactions. Unlike traditional methods that rely on heat transferred from an external source, microwaves directly interact with molecules, rapidly raising their energy and temperature. This targeted heating speeds up reaction rates, often improves yields, and can lead to purer products. It’s like using a microwave oven to hasten cooking—just in a controlled, scientific context to synthesize chemicals more efficiently and sustainably.
