Abstract

Residence time controlled reaction: The Swern oxidation of alcohols has been accomplished by using a microscale flow system, consisting of micromixers and microscale tube reactors (see schematic representation; DMSO=dimethylsulfoxide, TFAA=trifluoroacetic anhydride), at higher temperatures (−20 to 20 °C) than those for conventional macroscale batch systems (−50 °C or below).
