Part 2: Selective Microwave Heating of an Ionic Reagent

In part two of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, discusses in depth the microwave chemistry research he's conducted in collaboration with FSU colleague Dr. Al Stiegman. The research outlines Friedel-Crafts substitutions, Aryl-Claisen rearrangements, and key parameters in these experiments that aim to better understand selective microwave heating.
