A Multifunctional Microfluidic Platform for High‐Throughput Experimentation of Electroorganic Chemistry

Abstract

Abstract Electroorganic synthesis is a promising tool to design sustainable transformations and discover new reactivities. However, the added setup complexity caused by electrodes in the system impedes efficient screening of reaction conditions. Herein, we present a microfluidic platform that enables automated high‐throughput experimentation (HTE) for electroorganic synthesis at a 15‐microliter scale. Two HTE modules are demonstrated: 1) the rapid electrochemical reaction condition screening for a radical–radical cross‐coupling reaction on micro‐fabricated interdigitated electrodes, and 2) measurements of kinetics for mediated anodic oxidations using the microliter‐scale cyclic voltammetry. The presented modular approach could be deployed for a range of other electroorganic chemistry applications beyond the demonstrated functionalities.
