Microwave Tips
Cover all solids in the reaction vessel with liquid.
Never exceed the maximum working volume of the vial.
Always use a stir bar that adequately mixes the reaction contents in the microwave.
Reactions can be performed under an inert atmosphere.
Try performing the reaction at higher concentrations.
How to Cautiously Microwave
Start with a low power input - 200 W or less (this can be adjusted as necessary)
Watch the first minute of the reaction.
If a gas forms during the reaction, Cool the reaction completely. Allow the ActiVent to release the excess gas.
