Most of the traditional methods for organic synthesis have been associated with environmental concern. The transition from traditional to modern methods of synthesis is mainly based on principles of green chemistry to achieve better sustainability by reducing the negative impact on the environment and health. It has been found that microwaves as an energy source in organic synthesis have a great advantage over conventional heating. Microwave-assisted reactions are energy efficient and hence, brought themselves in the preview green chemistry principles. The use of safer solvents is another important principle of green chemistry. The use of water as a solvent in organic synthesis has great benefits over the use of hazardous organic solvents in terms of environment and safety. This study will cover the use of both microwave and water simultaneously in organic reactions.

The study aims to synthesize thiocoumarin scaffolds clubbed with pyrimidine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring system under microwave irradiation and describe their pharmacological activities. We report herein an efficient and simple Lewis acid-catalyzed procedure for the synthesis of novel series of thiocoumarin clubbed with pyrimidine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole motifs under microwave irradiation. The microwave-assisted technique has many advantages, such as a higher yield, a clean and selective procedure, shorter reaction time, and simple work-up. The objective of the present study is to design and synthesize thiocoumarin scaffolds clubbed with pyrimidine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring system by microwave-assisted heating. Our prime focus is to highlight the synthetic approach developed for the synthesis of heterocyclic moieties of pharmacological interest, and the prominence has also been given to distinct advantages provided by microwave heating. Thiocoumarin clubbed with pyrimidine, and 1,3,4-oxadiazole motifs was synthesized under microwave irradiation. All the synthesized molecules were evicted by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra. The anti-microbial activity of synthesized compounds was examined against two Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, P. aeruginosa), two Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, S. pyogenes), and three fungi (C. albicans, A. niger, A. clavatus) using the MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) method, anti-tubercular activity H37Rv using L. J. Slope Method and anti- oxidant activity using DPPH and ABTS bioassay method. The application of microwave technology for the rapid synthesis of biologically significant thiocoumarin analogues is very promising because of its shorter reaction time and higher yield. Some of these new derivatives showed moderate to good in-vitro anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-tubercular activity. Compounds B4 and B7 appeared to have high radical scavenging efficacies as 35.32 ± 0.446 and 33.97 ± 1.069 μg/mL ± SD of IC50 values in DPPH and ABTS bioassay, respectively. Microwave-assisted synthesis provides an implicit way to discover a promising class of molecular entities for the development of new anti-microbial and anti-oxidant agents. Oxadiazole and pyrimidine bearing thiocoumarin derivatives showed improved anti-microbial, antitubercular, and anti-oxidant activity.

To use the microwave radiation as the post-treatment method to tune the acidic properties of Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst. ZSM-5 zeolite is a widely used standard catalyst in the methanol conversion to olefins and high-octane gasoline range hydrocarbons. However, the coke deposition and the concentration of acid sites determine its overall catalytic activity. Thus, the concentration of acid sites more precisely, the number of Brønsted acid sites, is vital in determining the activity of ZSM-5 zeolite and product distribution in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction. (1) To modify ZSM-5 using an iron solution to form Fe/ZSM-5 via the impregnation method. (2) To tune the acidic properties of Fe/ZSM-5 using microwave radiation. (3) To check and determine the concentration of acidic sites using n-propylamine temperature-programmed surface reaction. (4) To check the effect of microwave radiation and acidic properties in the methanol conversion (product distribution) via methanol temperature-programmed surface reaction. Two sets of zeolites were used, with iron being introduced by ion-exchange from ferric nitrate (Fe(NO3)3 9H2O, Sigma Aldrich, ≥ 98% metal) solutions. These two series were designated as Z (0.5FeZ10/0-700) and X (0.5FeX10/0-700) after microwave treatment. The Z and X series possess the Si/Al framework ratio of 30 and 80, respectively. The TPSR studies were then conducted for characterization and catalytic tests. From the C3H9N-TPSR experiments, it was found that the concentration of Brønsted acid sites decreased with increasing microwave power level. Both X and Z series exhibited high selectivity to propene than ethene. Microwave treated catalysts (0.5FeZ10/280 and 0.5FeX10/462) with decreased concentration of Brønsted acid sites showed the highest propene/ethene ratios of 1.67 and 5.27, respectively. From the results obtained, it was found that the amount of methane evolved (as a measure of coke deposited) and the concentration of Brønsted acid sites decreased with increasing microwave power level (0-700 Watts). High selectivity to propene was found when using both X series (0.5FeX10/0-700) and Z series (0.5FeZ10/0-700) as catalysts. After decreasing the concentration of Brønsted acid using microwave treatment, the highest P/E ratios were observed for 0.5FeX10/280, 0.5FeX10/462, 0.5FeZ10/280 and 0.5FeZ10/462 catalysts. It is reasonable to suggest that microwave radiation could be a feasible post-synthesis modification step to produce ZSM-5 based catalysts that exhibit reduced concentration of Brønsted acid sites, reduced methane formation, increased catalytic activity and selectivity.

Synthesis and application of acid-functionalized mesoporous polymer catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones via Biginelli condensation reaction under microwave irradiation is investigated. Several analytical techniques such as FT-IR, BET, TEM, SEM and EDX were employed to characterize the synthesized polymeric catalyst. High acidity (1.15 mmol g-1 ), high surface area (90.44 m2 g -1 ) and mesoporous nature of the catalyst effectively promoted the synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones. Microwave irradiation shows higher yield (89-98 %) as compared to conventional heating (15-25 % yield) under our optimized reaction conditions such as 1:1:1.2 molar ratio of aldehyde/ethylacetoacetate/urea, catalyst loading of 6 wt.% (with respect to aldehyde), the temperature of 80 °C and microwave power of 50 W. The synthesized Biginelli products were fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR. The reusability of the catalyst was investigated up to 5 successive cycles and it showed great stability towards the synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones without any significant depreciation in yields.

Microwave-assisted Claisen rearrangement of allyloxybenzene with a hydroxyl group was conducted in the presence of metal salts. The rearrangement was promoted in the presence of an alkali metal salt, because the reaction substrate was converted into a phenoxide-type ion, which can efficiently absorb microwaves. In contrast, a Lewis acid was strongly coordinated to the ethereal oxygen, and this structure could also absorb microwaves efficiently.

The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of combined microwave- convective drying on the quality of dried-pears. Color, bioactive compounds (total phenolics (TP) and antioxidant capacity (AC)) and textural (hardness) properties of convective (50 and 60 °C), microwave (100 and 200 W), and combined microwave-convective (100-50 °C, 200W-50 °C, 100 W-60 °C and 200 W-60 °C) dried pears were compared with the untreated pears. A Konica Minolta CR-400 Chroma Meter was used to examine the color changes in dried pears. TP was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. The free radical scavenging activity of the extract was analyzed using 1,1-dipheyl-2-picylhydrazyl (DPPH). The hardness of dried pear slices with different drying methods was obtained by a texture analyzer. The microwave- convective dried pear slices (especially at the condition of 200 W - 60 °C) showed higher preservation of bioactive compounds in addition to improved textural properties and color compared to other dried pear samples. Overall, combined microwave-convective drying is a promising process, as demonstrated in current research by its capability to better retain dried pear quality in terms of functional and textural properties.

Manganese ore is an important metallurgical raw material that holds an important strategic position in the national economy of China. However, the grade of manganese ore in the country is mostly low, and the utilization efficiency of low-grade manganese ore resources is low, which seriously restricts the healthy and stable development of China’s metallurgical industry. As a new green heating method, microwave is expected to address the problems of conventional methods and realize the effective utilization of low-grade manganese ore. In this paper, the research status of the microwave composite reduction of pyrolusite in recent years is reviewed. Microwave plays an important role in metallurgy, and it is the current direction pursued to improve the research level of microwave heating and extend it to actual industrial processes.
