Abstract
The Front Cover shows the transesterification reaction of ethylene glycol (EG) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC), which is a reversible reaction forming ethylene carbonate (EC) and methanol (MeOH). Under reflux conditions, microwave heating (MWH) improves reaction efficiency by enhancing MeOH evaporation through intensified phase-change cycles (PCCs). This continuous removal of MeOH to the vapor phase shifts the equilibrium toward higher EG conversions and EC yields, exceeding those attained under conventional heating (CH). More information can be found in the Research Article by G. D. Stefanidis and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202500099).
