Abstract
The application of microwave irradiation to organic reactions has shown to enhance significantly the rate of many organic processes. Microwave assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) is a simple, efficient, rapid & green method for the synthesis of organic compounds/complexes. In the present paper, we have discussed the oxidation of crotonic acid by both conventional as well as MAOS methods. In the comparative study, the MAOS method was found more efficient over conventional method.
