Abstract
The catalytic transfer hydrogenation of benzaldehyde catalyzed by hlor ohydridotris-(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) was carried out in a se aled Teflon vessel using a household microwave oven as the heat source . Carrying out the reaction in the microwave oven produced an improvem ent in the average catalytic turnover rate from 280 to 6700 turnovers/ h in comparison with traditional reflux heating.
