✦ Synopsis

A Novel Enzymatic Synthesis of 2-Substituted Naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-ones Using Microwaves. -The paper is the first report on a synthesis using an enzyme under microwave irradiation. The lipase used has an optimum activity at pH 3.0 and 50 • C. It is thermostable at 100 • C for 30 minutes and in various organic solvents.
