Microwave dielectric heating in synthetic organic chemistry

TL;DR: The most valuable advantages of using controlled microwave dielectric heating for chemical synthesis is the dramatic reduction in reaction times: from days and hours to minutes and seconds as discussed by the authors, and there are many more good reasons why organic chemists are nowadays incorporating dedicated microwave reactors into their daily work routine.

Nonthermal microwave effects revisited: on the importance of internal temperature monitoring and agitation in microwave chemistry.

TL;DR: A critical reevaluation of all four reactions has provided no evidence for the existence of nonthermal microwave effects, and the observed effects were purely thermal and not related to the microwave field.
