Includes bibliographical references and index.

"The third edition of the bestselling two-volume reference covers everything you need to know about microwave technology for synthesis -- from the best equipment to nonthermal effects, from solid-support reactions to catalysis. Completely revised and updated with half of the authors completely new to the project, this comprehensive work is clearly divided into four parts on the fundamentals, methodology, combination of enabling technologies, and applications. Also new to this edition are chapters on on-line monitoring, flow chemistry, combination with ultrasounds and natural products, including multicomponent reactions. An indispensable source for organic, catalytic, physical, and medicinal chemists."-- Provided by publisher.
