A research on conversion of eugenol to methyl isoeugenol via one-step reaction with microwave irradiation has been carried out. Mixtures containing eugenol, sodium or potassium carbonate as solid support, with or without sodium or potassium hydroxide as base, with or without tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst, with dimethyl sulfate as the methylating agent were irradiated in a domestic microwave oven for 20 - 50 seconds. It was revealed that one-step methylation and isomerization required combinations of sodium or potassium hydroxide base and tetrabutylammonium bromide. Without combination of base and TBAB only one product, i.e. methyl eugenol, was formed.   Keywords: eugenol, methyl eugenol, methyl isoeugenol, microwave

ABSTRACTHydrotalcites are mineral anion exchangers whose exchange capacity is determined by the amount of structural magnesium atoms (octahedrally coordinated) substituted by aluminium atoms. In this work we study the synthesis of hydrotalcites using a domestic microwave oven at room pressure. The effect of the oven power on the composition and on the resulting structure of two hydrotalcites differing on their nominal Al/Al+Mg ratio is presented.

Metal-free phthalocyanine derivatives have been synthesized in very short times with high yields in the presence of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium trifluoroacetate (TMGT) as an ionic liquid or tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer reagent under both classical heating conditions and using microwave irradiation. The best results were obtained with ionic liquid. Both the ionic liquid and phase transfer reagent can be recycled for subsequent reactions and reused without appreciable loss of efficiency.

N-Phenyl-2-phenylacetamide was alkylated with benzyl chloride in the presence of powdered potassium hydroxide under microwave irradiation in a solvent-free system. The reactions were also performed in the presence of phase-transfer catalysts. The formation of N-, O- and C-products of alkylation was followed by gas chromatography. The N-product was found to be the main product under microwave irradiation. The O-product was obtained in higher yields when an excess of base and benzyl chloride was used.

A new versatile macromolecule cyclic C-3,7-dimethyl-7-hydroxycalix[4]resorcinarene (CDHHK4R) has been synthesized from a fragrance agent, 7-hydroxycitronellal, via microwave irradiation. The reaction utilized a domestic microwave oven at various irradiation time and power to yield an optimum condition. As a comparison, the conventional heating method was also employed for the synthesis of the same calix[4]resorcinarene. Compared to the conventional method, microwave-assisted reaction effectively reduced the reaction time, the amount of energy consumption and the waste production. It is found that the synthesis of CDHHK4R by microwave irradiation yielded 77.55% of product, higher than by conventional heating which was only 62.17%.

abstract Multiresidue analysis of fumigants is important because of their widespread use on staple foodstuffs, such as grain. Fumigants are usually extracted from grain either by solvent extraction or by purgeand- trap techniques. In this paper, fumigant residues in wheat were "extracted" by a microwave procedure. Wheat, in gas-tight Erlenmeyer flasks, was placed in a domestic microwave oven, and fumigants were released into the headspace by microwave irradiation. Power settings for maximum release of fumigants were determined for CH3Br PH3, CS2, and COS. Recoveries of fortified samples were >90%. Completeness of extraction was assessed from the amount of fumigant retained by the microwave-irradiated wheat. This amount, determined from both solvent extraction and from further microwave irradiation, was always small(<5℅ of the amount obtained from the initial procedure). Limits of quantitation were <1 ng/g for ChhBr, PH3, and CS2. These low limits were essentially due to the absence of interference from solvents. The microwave method is rapid and solvent-free. However, care is required in selecting the appropriate power setting. The safety implications of heating sealed flasks in microwave ovens should be noted.

The synthesis of a series of diversely substituted pyrimidines under solvent-free conditions in good yields is described. Under microwave irradiation, a variety of nucleophilic substrates containing the N–C–N unit with β-dicarbonyl compounds, ethyl cyanoacetate, malononitrile, and chalcones was cyclized to give pyrimidines. A combinatorial type approach for a one-step synthesis has been developed where a ring-closing condensation is followed by spontaneous aromatization to afford 28 functionalized and aryl/alkyl substituted pyrimidines.
