N-Alkyl-2-pyrrolidones have been widely used in the petrochemical industry, the agricultural chemical industry, electronic materials, etc. The distinct advantages of using N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidones as solvents or reaction media make them particularly important. A continuous-flow microreactor was exploited for the preparation of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) in a highly controlled and safe manner; thus, its use improved the efficiency of the process. Various conditions (temperature, residence time, molar ratio of amine to γ-butyrolactone (GBL), GBL concentration, water content, and presence of H3BO3 catalyst) were investigated to improve the synthesis of NMP/NEP. A microreactor was employed for the conversion of GBL to NMP and NEP, and the yields reached 94.7% for NMP and 93.9% for NEP under the optimized conditions. Furthermore, a kinetic model based on the reaction mechanism was proposed to guide the design and optimization of the synthesis of NMP/NEP.
