Hydrogenation reactions using scCO2 as a solvent in microchannel reactors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 May 28:(20):2567-8. doi: 10.1039/b501169h. Epub 2005 Mar 18.

Abstract

We have developed an effective microfluidic system for hydrogenation reactions in scCO(2); the reactions proceeded very rapidly (within 1 second), by making the best use of scCO(2) and utilizing the large specific interfacial area of the microchannel reactor, and high reaction productivity was attained in each channel.
