39. A 800 W domestic microwave oven (home appliance); in these conditions and irradiating at full power, the solvent refluxes in about 20 s.
40. In an attempt to solve this problem, the reaction was conducted in the presence of a stoichiometric and substoichiometric amounts of triethylamine, or using the more hindered base, diisopropylethylamine (Hunig's base). Unfortunately, in all the cases, complex mixtures were obtained with no sign of product formation. When no base was added, the reaction was not complete, even after irradiation for 30 min at 140 °C, using the dedicated microwave reactor.
41. Some concentration-dependent changes in chemical shift were also observed.
