Abstract

Acetone sensitized photoadditions of isopropanol to (5R)-5-menthyloxy-2-(5H)-furanone were investigated in two different microflow reactor systems. Setup A employed a commercially available glass reactor under a UVB-panel. Setup B utilized a FEP microcapillary wrapped tightly around a Pyrex cylinder with a single UVB fluorescent tube at its center. The reactions under flow conditions were subsequently compared to analogue reactions conducted in a batch chamber reactor. Overall, the microflow systems gave faster conversions and higher isolated yields. The flexible microcapillary setup, however, showed the best performance and promise in terms of future scale-up and reactor optimization.
