Enabling tools for continuous-flow biphasic liquid-liquid reaction

摘要

Flow chemistry has attracted considerable attention as it offers several advantages over conventional batch chemistry. Several multiphase reactions, including liquid-liquid reactions, are more efficient in flow due to intensified mass transfer. This observation has led to many developments of enabling tools in recent years. In this minireview, an up-to-date overview of such tools will be highlighted. In addition, interesting exam- ples of the integrated continuous-flow process with liquid-liquid reactions will also be presented.
