TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe applications of microwaves to accomplish various chemical transformations accelerated by a variety of catalysts which include, but not limited to, Lewis acids, other metal-containing catalysts, organocatalysts, heterogeneous catalysts and phase-transfer catalysts.

Labeling and Synthesis of Estrogens and Their Metabolites

Paula Kiuru
TL;DR: A new synthesis route, in four steps, was developed for the estrogen metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol, which has shown to prevent tumor growth in various cell lines and it was found to to reduce the reaction times significantly as compared with traditional heating.
