Abstract
When the Lawesson’s reagent mediated cyclization of various 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds is performed under microwave irradiation conditions in a conventional microwave oven, high yields of the desired S-heterocycles are obtained, little or no byproduct is formed, reaction times are extremely short, and no solvent is needed for the reaction.
