Photoredox catalysis under shear using thin film vortex microfluidics

Open Access Article. This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.A microfluidic vortex fluidic device (VFD) operating in either confined or continuous mode is effective in high yielding photoredox reactions involving Rose Bengal, with short reaction times. This processing can be translated to multi-components reactions, also with significantly reduced processing times relative to batch processing and channel microfluidic processing, with comparable or improved yields
