Abstract :Since polar reactants can adsorb microwave irradiation, chemists can utilize the microwave oven for some organic reactions. In this paper, we report a rapid conversion of lactams to cyclic imides using peracetic acid (CH3-CO3H) and manganic chloride (MnCl2) in ethyl acetate (CH3-COOEt) as a solvent and under microwave irradiation (90 W, 5 min) in good yields.Keywords : Oxidation, Lactams, Cyclic imides, Microwave irradiation, Peracetic acid
