In the recent years Microwave–induced Organic Reaction Enhancement (MORE) chemistry has now found an important utility values for carrying out chemical reactions in organic synthesis of compounds. This technique as an alternative to conventional energy sources for introduction of energy into reactions has become a very well-known and practical method in various fields of chemistry. Microwave-assisted organic synthesis is known for the spectacular accelerations produced in many reactions as a consequence of the heating rate, a phenomenon that cannot be easily reproduced by classical heating methods. Its specific heating method attracts extensive interest because of rapid volumetric heating, suppressed side reactions, energy saving, direct heating, decreased environmental pollutions, and safe operations Another area of interest which has been under focus recently is to avoid the use of organic solvent, which leads to wastage and is detrimental to the environment.
