Triple-channel microreactor for biphasic gas–liquid reactions: Photosensitized oxygenations
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011 A triple-channel microreactor fabricated by means of a soft-lithography technique was devised for efficient biphasic gas–liquid reactions. The excellent performance of the microreactor was demonstrated by carrying out photosensitized oxygenations of α ...
