Graphical Abstract
Running oil-bath chemistry in a microwave! Using reaction vials made out of strongly microwave-absorbing silicon carbide (SiC) in a microwave reactor simulates experiments conducted in an autoclave with conductive heating because of the efficient shielding of the electromagnetic field by the SiC vial. This technology makes it possible to study the significance of microwave effects.
