30. One often overlooked hazard that may become prevalent under microwave irradiation is the formation of electrical arcs. Arcing could result in vessel rupture if air and flammable compounds are involved. We believe the possibility of running reactions in an inert gas atmosphere is a distinct advantage with the sealed reaction vessel strategy.

35. The reaction time could probably be reduced below 2.0 min with higher microwave power, but 500 W is the limit of our currently available apparatus (MicroWell 10).
36. +, the ion strength of the solution depends only on the Pd-catalyst and dissolved KOAc (partly dissolved). Calculation yields I = 0.014-0.026 for 3 and I = 0.011-0.017 for 4 (lower limit: no KOAc dissolved, higher limit: all KOAc dissolved).
