Mats Larhed and colleagues from the University of Uppsala provide an extremely accessible introduction to microwave synthesis in this review article, demonstrating the use of single-mode microwave synthesis for laboratory-scale preparation of small molecules. They focus of the synthesis of potential treatments of four of the world’s most infectious diseases; tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria and hepatitis C.
