The temperature of the alumina bath (heat sink) inside a Sears Kenmore microwave oven equipped with a turntable at full power (800 Watts) found to be -110°C after 3 minutes of irradiation. Similar yield of the benzylidene aniline, 4a, is obtained using alternate mode of heating in 3 hours and the reaction occurred only partially even after overnight heating for enamine, 8a (oil bath).
