Microreactors in Organic Chemistry and Catalysis, Second Edition (2013)

6.4. Conclusion and Outlook

It is well established that microreactors and continuous flow synthesis enable reactions to be performed more rapidly, efficiently, and selectively than batch reactions. In addition to traditional solution phase synthesis, microreactor technology has now been demonstrated to efficiently enable photochemistry and electrochemistry to be more easily introduced into the methodology available to the synthetic chemist. As illustrated within this chapter, it is also possible to conduct PET radiosynthesis within these systems where a key advantage is that the processing time can be substantially reduced.
