Microflow photochemistry: UVC-induced [2 + 2]-photoadditions to furanone in a microcapillary reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
[2 + 2]-Cycloadditions of cyclopentene and 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene to furanone were investigated under continuous-flow conditions. Irradiations were conducted in a FEP-microcapillary module which was placed in a Rayonet chamber photoreactor equipped with low wattage UVC-lamps. Conversion rates and isolated yields were compared to analogue batch reactions in a quartz test tube. In all cases examined, the microcapillary reactor furnished faster conversions and improved product qualities.

Parallel microflow photochemistry: process optimization, scale-up, and library synthesis.
A novel, multimicrocapillary flow reactor (MμCFR) was constructed and applied to a series of sensitized photoadditions involving 2(5H)-furanones. The reactor allowed for rapid and energy-, time-, and space-efficient sensitizer screening, process optimization, validation, scale-up, and library synthesis.

Cationic ring-opening polymerizations of 2-oxazolines were investigated in continuous microflow reactors. Fast homopolymerizations of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) and 2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline (nPropOx) were carried out up to 180 °C, yielding well-controlled polymers. Also well-defined diblock and triblock copolymers were produced in a microfluidic reactor cascade, demonstrating the high value of mi...
متن کاملComparison of UVC/S2O8(2-) with UVC/H2O2 in terms of efficiency and cost for the removal of micropollutants from groundwater.
This study compared the UVC/S2O8(2-) system with the more commonly used AOP in water industry, UVC/H2O2, and examined whether the first one can be an economically feasible alternative technology. Atrazine and 4 volatile compounds (methyl tert-butyl ether, cis-dichlorethen, 1,4-dioxane and 1,1,1-trichloroethane) were chosen as model contaminants because they exhibit different susceptibility to U...
