| Publisher Description: The demands for green and sustainable synthetic methods in the fields of healthcare and fine chemicals, combined with the pressure to produce these substances expeditiously and in an environmentally benign fashion, pose significant challenges to the synthetic chemical community. This objective can be achieved through the development of aqueous synthetic protocols using microwave heating. This unique book covers all the microwave-assisted aqueous reactions in depth, including heterocycle synthesis, metal catalyzed reactions, enzymatic reactions and nano-catalysis. Written by well known microwave experts, this comprehensive book will help the younger researchers in academia as well as those in industry seeking to explore this field. |
Contributor Bio(s): Varma, Rajender S.: - Prof. Rajender S. Varma was born in India (Ph.D., Delhi University 1976). After postdoctoral research at Robert Robinson Laboratories, Liverpool, UK, he was a faculty member at Baylor College of Medicine and Sam Houston State University prior to joining the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1999. He has over 35 years of research experience in management of multi-disciplinary programs that include nanomaterials and development of environmentally friendlier alternatives for synthetic methods using microwaves, and ultrasound etc. He has published over 300 scientific papers and has been awarded 6 US Patents.Polshettiwar, Vivek: - Dr Vivek Polshettiwar was born in Mangli (India) in 1979. He obtained his Ph.D. (2005) under the supervision of Prof. M. P. Kaushik from Jiwaji University and DRDE, Gwalior. He investigated nanostructured silica-catalysis, with Prof. J. J. E. Moreau and Prof. P. Hesemann in 2006 during his postdoctoral research at ENSCM, Montpellier (France). He also worked as project leader in Jubilant Chemsys, Noida for short time.. Then he moved to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (2007-2009) to research nano-catalysis and MW-assisted new synthetic methods for green chemistry with Prof. R. S. Varma. Currently, he is working as senior research scientist at KAUST catalysis center directed by Prof. J. M. Basset. His research interests are in the area of advanced nano-materials for perfect catalysis. He has over 50 publications including various review articles and book chapters. |
