Abstract A microwave unit and reaction vessel for chemical synthesis or kinetics studies is described. The Teflon reaction vessel could be operated at temperatures up to 200 °C and pressures up to 10 atmospheres. It was possible to stir and directly monitor the temperature and pressure in the microwave environment. The system was demonstrated by preparing isopropyl 2,4, 6-trimethylbenzoate. Key Words: Microwave, Chemical synthesis, Chemical reactor, Kinetics, Temperature monitoring, Magnetic stirring.
