ABSTRACT

We have successfully demonstrated that a microflow reactor is extremely useful in controlling reactions involving an unstable o-benzoquinone. The key features of the method are an effective o-benzoquinone generation and its rapid use for the following reaction without decomposition in a microflow system.
