title: The investigation of an equilibrium dependent reaction for the formation of enamines in a microchemical system.
abstract: The paper describes the equilibrium dependant reaction for the formation of enamines in a microchemical system utilising electroosmotic flow (EOF) for fluid mobilisation. The authors have shown that the reaction can be carried out without the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, in addition the enamine intermediate was synthesised at room temperature using mild solvent conditions. A 42% conversion of cyclohexanone into the enamine has been achieved to date.
