Abstract
Continuous flow synthesis attracts extended attention in academia as well as in the industry. In laboratory conditions, the continuous flow method usually involves the use of microreactors. The key advantage of microreactors compared to classical batch reactors is the large volume to surface ratio which allows a better mass and heat transfer, higher conversion rate and shorter reaction time as well as safe, simple and precise process control. In this paper the synthesis of Schiff base in a continuous flow microreactor system, at room temperature was examined. In order to achieve higher product yield, the concentrations of the starting materials and the retention time in the microreactor were varied. The reaction was followed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The synthesized benzylideneaniline was characterized by melting point and FT-IR data.
