Summary on Grant Application Form
We will investigate applying microwave radiation to increase the reaction efficiency and possible selectivity of reaction performed in micro chemcial reactors. The study will initially focus on a hetergenously catalysed aryal cross coupling reaction based on immobilised palladium (the Suzuki reaction) already performed in a micro reactor.This reaction will be carried out in an existing customised fixed frequency (2.45GHz) focused microwave waveguide system.The work will then progress by developing a variable frequency low power microwave system specifically designed for micro reactor applications which will be used to explore a wider range of single and multi phase synthetic reactions.
