Hani Mutlak A. Hassan received a First Class with Honours master of chemistry degree from Hull University and Ph.D. from the University of Manchester’s Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre. After a short stay at the Department of Chemistry and then the Krebs Institute for Biomolecular Research, University of Sheffield, he took up his current appointment at King Fahd Medical Research Centre, King Abdulaziz University, as an Assistant Professor. His interests fall in the fields of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and molecular medicine. |
Steve Harakeh received his Ph.D. from the University of Surrey and then moved to the United States and held positions at Stanford University, Linus Pauling Institute, and Dr. Rath Research Institute. He has worked and published with Nobel Prize Laureate Professor Linus Pauling. He held an academic position at the American University of Beirut where he became a Professor and is now at King Fahd Medical Research Centre, King Abdulaziz University. He has an eclectic background in various fields in science ranging from chemistry to molecular biology. |

Abstract
The continuing use of microwave (µwave) energy in chemical synthesis has been impressive over the past decade, with many reports incorporating µwave-based reactions. Two of the major benefits of using µwave heating are the remarkable decrease in reaction times and often high yield of products in comparison with classical heating, an ideal technology for synthetic chemists. Herein, we highlight some exciting examples of its recent utility in organic, medicinal, and natural product synthetic endeavours.
