Microwave-assisted organic chemistry has received considerable attention during the last decade and nowadays, more and more research chemists are applying microwave technology to organic reactions on a small scale successfully. However, efficient application of this technology to cover the specific needs of larger-scale preparations, e.g., in a kilolab, remains to be shown. Therefore, the current study was initiated to investigate the scalability of the microwave technology. Two different microwave systems designed for large-scale operation (Multiwave 3000 and CEM Voyager SF) were evaluated to characterize strengths and weaknesses of each instrument for special use in a kilolab with focus on temperature/pressure limits, handling of suspensions, ability for rapid heating and cooling, robustness, and overall processing time.
