Microwave-mediated Newman-Kwart rearrangement in water
For the first time the unimolecular Newman-Kwart rearrangement is performed in pure water. The elevated temperatures required for the 1,3-aryl shift are easily accomplished by microwave irradiation. Differently functionalized substrates underline the expe

A comparison of commercial microwave reactors for scale-up within process chemistry
Seven commercially available microwave reactors designed for limited scale-up have been investigated using a highly reliable and robust reaction (the Newman-Kwart rearrangement). The use of a single reaction has enabled the comparison to be made across the range of different reactor types and scales. Overall, all reactors gave reliable scale-up from small scale, and performance equivalent to one another on large scale. A more detailed comparison between them is given in the concluding section.

The Newman-Kwart rearrangement: A microwave kinetic study
(Chemical Equation Presented) The kinetic profile of the Newman-Kwart rearrangement has been evaluated using microwave heating. After first demonstrating equivalence between conventional convective heating and microwave heating, data was gathered and anal

The Newman-Kwart rearrangement re-evaluated by microwave synthesis
The Newman-Kwart rearrangement (NKR) has been re-evaluated by microwave heating. Microwave technology has proven to be ideal for investigating this high temperature rearrangement and facilitated the confirmation of many aspects of this valuable reaction.
