  1. Using MICROWAVE REACTOR Krystyna R. Brzezinska Materials Research Laboratory

  2. Collective name for electromagnetic irradiation with • frequencies in the range of 0.3-300 GHz. • To avoid interferences between applications - • 2.45 GHz corresponding to wavelength 12.2 cm. • temp: 60-250 °C, temp increase: 2-5 °C/sec • Power: 0-300 W at 2.45 MHz Pressure: 0-20 bar • Pressure: 0-20 bar20 bar = 290 psi, 250 psi = 17 bar Microwave

  3. Mechanism of Microwave Heating Dipolar oscillation Ionic conduction Molecular Orientation = Molecular Friction = Heat

  4. Speed Up Chemical Reaction? • Temp. up to 250 oC and pressure up to 20 bars • Heat much faster than the conventional reaction. Vials: 0.2-0.5 ml, 0.5-2 ml, 2-5 ml, 10-20 ml

  5. Polar Solvents • Polar solvents (e.g. DMF, DMSO, ROH etc.) • Heat rapidly. • Same concentration as conventional reaction. • Polar solvent with high ionic content (e.g. DMF + K2CO3 etc) • Heat VERY rapidly and may overshoot set temperature. Temp too high! • Decrease initialpower use: • ‘Sample Absorption’ - High or Very High. • Dilute reaction mixture.

  6. Less Polar Solvents Less polar solvents (e.g. toluene, dioxane, THF) • Heat poorly • Concentrate the reaction mixture • - speeds workup • - lower cost of ‘waste’ solvent removal • Add polar co-solvent • Increase ionic concentration

  7. Solvent polarity Effect of a co-solvent Set temp: 200 °C 4.5 mL Toluene 4.0 Toluene + 0.5 mL DMF

  8. Reaction rate? Arrhenius Equation: K = A e–DG/RT Reaction rate ~ doubles for every 10 oC temperature increase

  9. Using the 10o Rule to determine a starting point K = A e–DG/RT

  10. Prepare Three Vials 180oC 5 min 160oC 5 min 140oC 5 min First Choice

The actual temperature and pressure achieved with a given solvent might differ significantly using different reaction conditions and compositions. Red indicates good microwave absorption, while Blue indicates less good**Volume = 2.5 mL

  12. Reaction is not proceeding at all or not going to completion: • Increase temp. (limit is pressure buil-up in the vial and security max = 250 oC). • Extend reaction time. • Increase initialpower ‘Sample Absorption’ – Normal, High or Very High • Increase concentration. • Use more polar solvent (water at high temp become less polar). • Add polar co-solvent

  13. Decomposition: • Lower temperature. • Increase initialpower ‘Sample Absorption’ – Normal, High or Very High • Shorten reaction time. Product is actually formed, but then decomposes rapidly at elevated temperatures. • Decrease concentration. • Change reagents.
