Abstract

Chemical synthesis in microreactors is a novel way of conducting chemistry in a highly controlled way with improved yields at impressive selectivities and with reduced overall effort. This paper describes recent technological progress with the potential as well as the application of the technology to chemical synthesis, discusses novel chemical optimization technology and reports on the transfer of the technology into production.
