    Inventors: Jacob Westman, Ronny Lundin
  • Preparation and use of ionic liquids in microwave-assisted chemical transformations
    Patent number: 6596130
    Abstract: Ionic liquids were rapidly and efficiently prepared by microwave-assisted chemical transformations. A method for performing microwave-assisted reactions, including alkylation reactions, using ionic liquids as solvent resulted in high yields with dramatically reduced reaction times. Ionic liquids, when used as an additive or co-solvent, allowed for heating, by microwave-assistance, of chemical reactions performed in traditional organic solvents, most notably non-polar solvents.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for performing multiple chemical reactions and a kit and system therefor
    Publication number: 20020013000
    Abstract: The present invention relates to conducting a plurality of chemical reactions in a system including an apparatus which provides energy for the chemical reactions, such as chemical reactions in organic synthesis, where a particular advantage is the use of predetermined reaction parameters corresponding to similar chemical reactions. The present invention also relates to a system for performing said method and to corresponding kits and software. The system comprises an apparatus which can provide energy for the chemical reactions, said apparatus comprising a reaction cavity and a liquid handler, and a parameter selecting unit having a user interface means, a search unit means, apparatus control unit means, and storage means for carrying a database.
