Abstract:
1. A process for the continuous production of a compound of Formula (II), wherein R (a) forming the two-phase solvent system by contacting a compound of Formula (I), (b) passing the two-phase solvent system under a flow condition through a mixing microreactor having an average hydraulic diameter and length to provide ΔW ≧1.3 ΔWs, wherein ΔW is a power loss of the reaction mixture flow at the flow condition through the mixing microreactor, and ΔWs is a straight-channel power loss of the reaction mixture flow at the flow condition through a circular cross-section straight-channel microreactor having an internal diameter equal to the average hydraulic diameter of the mixing microreactor and a length equal to the length of the mixing microreactor; and (c) in the mixing microreactor, continuously forming the compound of Formula (II) in the first solvent of the two-phase solvent system and extracting the formed compound of Formula (II) into the second solvent thereof.
