E. Diez-barra et al., Quaternization and dequaternization of pyrazoles in solvent-free conditions: Conventional heating versus microwave irradiation, J HETERO CH, 36(4), 1999, pp. 889-894
We report a study on the quaternization and dequaternization of pyrazoles b
y conventional heating and microwave irradiation in solvent-free conditions
. Microwave irradiation produces an acceleration in the quaternization rate
and a rapid equilibration between quaternized and non quaternized products
. Dequaternization is also more rapid and a change on the selectivity is ob
served using symmetric pyrazolium salts.
