Advances in electro- and sono-microreactors for chemical synthesis

Flash Chemistry: Fast Chemical Synthesis in Flow Microreactors

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. Therefo...

Microreactors as tools for chemical research

The unique operational characteristics of microreactors are described in this article, with particular reference to their use as tools for chemical synthesis. With reference to the future automation, an example is presented to illustrate how microreactors can be readily integrated into current HPLC systems, to enable fully integrated chemical synthesis and product analysis to be performed.
