In this work, we developed a continuous flow emulsion electrosynthetic system. This new flow system involves 20 kHz ultrasonication for acoustic emulsification of water-insoluble organic amines in an aqueous electrolyte without the use of a surfactant, followed by emulsion electrolysis in the flow microreactor and separation of the emulsion into aqueous and oil product (organic nitriles) phases using a liquid–liquid separator. The 20 kHz ultrasonication provided a stable emulsified solution containing organic amine droplets with a relatively narrow size distribution in the micrometer range. The subsequent emulsion electrolysis in the microreactor yielded the desired nitrile product very effectively. In addition, in a continuous flow operation, the emulsion after the electrolysis was efficiently separated into an aqueous electrolyte and oil product using a liquid–liquid separator. The proposed system is robust, and the desired product was successfully synthesized at the gram scale.
