The Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with phenylboronic acid to form biaryls has been used illustrate the development a microwave based technique capable delivering heat locally heterogeneous Pd-supported catalyst located within micro reactor device. A 10-15 nm gold film patch, on outside surface base glass reactor, was found efficiently assist in heating when irradiated 5-7 W power at 2.45 GHz. Using hydrodynamically pumped system, reactant-catalyst contact times less than 60...

As exemplified for coupling reaction various olefins with benzyl bromides, height microfluidic flow rate are crucial minimization unwanted side products optimization yields (see picture).
A product-scalable, catalytically mediated flow system has been developed to perform Suzuki-Miyaura reactions under a microwave heating regime, in which the volumetric throughput of Pd-supported silica monolith can be used increase quantity product without changing optimal operating conditions. Two monoliths (both 3 cm long), with comparable pore diameters and surface areas, were fabricated 3.2 6.4 mm give capacities 0.205 0.790 mL, respectively. The two functionalized loading 4.5 wt % Pd...
A simple microfluidic reactor system is described for the effective synthesis of enzyme functionalized nanoparticles which offers many advantages over batch reactions, including excellent efficiencies.
