Abstract
The spread of microwave (MW) equipment has brought about a tremendous development in synthetic organic chemistry. This environmentally friendly methodology, associated often with solventless conditions, has also had a positive impact on organophosphorus chemistry, allowing new reactions to be carried out, or increasing the rate, selectivity and yield. In special cases, MW irradiation may replace phase transfer or other kinds of catalysts. Reactions, such as the derivatization of phosphinic acids, the inverse Wittig protocol, Diels– Alder cycloadditions, fragmentation-related phosphorylations, phospha-Michael additions, Kabachnik–Fields condensations, the addition of >P(O)H species to carbonyl compounds, substitution of α-hydroxyphosphonates, alkylation of CH-acidic compounds, C–P couplings, Arbuzov reactions and transesterifications served as model reactions under MW conditions.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
