Microwave‐Assisted Chemoselective Hydrogenation Reactions Incorporating Hydrogen as Reducing Agent

The use of modern microwave equipment affords an easy and safe handling in the laboratory routine. The described quartz reactor system was tested in different reaction types to show its versatile applications. Various liquid‐phase hydrogenations were carried out successfully. The construction of the reactor allows the direct introduction of gases into the reaction mixture so that the reduction can be performed with gaseous hydrogen.
