Flash Chemistry: Fast Chemical Synthesis in Flow Microreactors
نویسنده
چکیده
The length of time that the solution remains inside the reactor channels—the residence time—can be greatly reduced by adjusting the length of the channels in flow microreactors. This feature is extremely useful in controlling reactive species. Unstable short-lived reactive species can be generated and transferred to another location to be used in the next reaction before they decompose. Therefore, chemical transformations that are impossible in macro-size reactors such as flasks should be made possible by using flow microreactors. The method serves as a powerful tool for organic synthesis.

متن کاملNon-orthogonal-to-the-flow electric field improves resolution in the orthogonal direction: hidden reserves for combining synthesis and purification in continuous flow.
There is a pressing need for continuous purification of products of synthesis conducted in continuous-flow microreactors. An existing technique, micro free-flow electrophoresis (microFFE), could fulfill this niche if its resolving power for similar molecules was improved. MicroFFE continuously separates ions in the hydrodynamic flow by an electric field orthogonal to the flow. Here, we prove th...
