In principle, an internal gas balloon thermometer for measuring the inner temperature of the reaction mixture in addition to the surface IR temperature of the reaction vessel can be employed with the Synthos 3000 microwave reactor. However, in this particular case, because of the use of the glass support, it was not possible to use the gas balloon thermometer. Therefore, in all the experiments the surface temperature of the reaction vessels was measured by an external IR sensor. Comparative measurements with an internal gas balloon thermometer confirmed that the IR values were always a constant ca. 30 °C lower than the reaction temperature monitored inside the vessel. All microwave autoclave reaction temperatures given in this article therefore refer to internal temperatures calculated from the measured vessel surface temperature using a calibration value of 30 °C.
