%0 Journal Article %T Synthesis and Aromatization of Hantzsch 1,4-Dihydropyridines under Microwave Irradiation. An Overview %A Jean Jacques Vanden Eynde %A Annie Mayence %J Molecules %D 2003 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/80400381 %X Domestic microwave ovens as well as laboratory reactors have been successfully employed to prepare dialkyl 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates and to induce the synthesis of the corresponding aromatic derivatives. In that latter particular case, unexpected results have been reported. %K Aromatization %K dihydropyridine %K Hantzsch %K microwave %K oxidation %K pyridine %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/8/4/381
