Abstract

Microreactor technology and flow chemistry could play an important role in the development of green and sustainable synthetic processes. In this review, some recent relevant examples in the field of flash chemistry, catalysis, hazardous chemistry and continuous flow processing are described. Selected examples highlight the role that flow chemistry could play in the near future for a sustainable development.

Highlights

  • Green chemistry’s birth was driven by the necessity to consider and face the urgent question of sustainability

  • Microreactor technology and flow chemistry could play a pivotal role in the context of sustainable development

  • Flow chemistry is becoming a new technique for fulfilling several of the twelve green chemistry principles
