Abstract

A large variety of aryl and heterocyclic chiral and achiral imines can be generated simply, efficiently, and cleanly through the use of microwave irradiation and the use of a small amount of molecular sieve. Reactions are rapid and complete in a matter of minutes, and can be quantitative, reducing significantly the time and amount of solvents used in compound isolation and purification.
