[edit] Examples needed

It would be interesting to provide some specific examples where the microwave method has improved the selectivity, yield, or rate. Perhaps something like: X and Y (reference) reacted A and B with microwave heating to obtain C with 96% yield of the trans product, compared to 70% yield for the thermal reaction at 120oC.

I just added link to a lab course using microwave technology including an syntheses by classical methods and the same syntheses done by microwave technology. Krakatit (talk) 15:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
