%X Microwave-assisted reactions are an environmentally
friendly approach for synthesizing organic compounds. In this study, oximation
of acetylferrocene and acetophenone was conducted under both microwave irradiation
and conventional heating conditions. Acetylferrocene and acetophenone were
subjected to oximation under the two conditions in various solvent mixtures,
and the extent of conversion was determined by </span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">H nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy. Microwave irradiation was found to accelerate the rate of
oximation of both acetylferrocene and acetophenone. Acceleration of the
reaction under microwave irradiation was attributed to the efficient absorption
of microwaves by the ferrocene nucleus.
