Breakthrough for Organic Electrochemistry Using a Narrow Reaction Field

微反应器通常被定义为由特殊制造的通道组成的小型化化学反应装置。与传统的间歇式反应器相比，微反应器最典型的特征之一是具有极大的面容积比。因此，微反应器为有机电化学等非均相反应提供了理想的环境。在此背景下，本研究重点研究了电化学微反应器在电有机合成中的实际应用。此外，本工作旨在提出仅通过电化学微反应器实现的新系统。

Microreactor is usually defined as a miniaturized chemical reaction devise composed of specially fabricated channel(s). One of the most typical characteristic feature of microreactor is extremely large surface-to-volume ratio compared to a classical batch type reactor. Hence, microreactor provides ideal circumstances for heterogeneous reactions such as organic electrochemical reaction. With these backgrounds in mind, this work focuses on practical applications of an electrochemical microreactor to electroorganic synthesis. In addition, this work aims to propose novel systems which are realized only by using the electrochemical microreactor.
