title: A novel electrosynthetic system for anodic substitution reactions by using parallel laminar flow in a microflow reactor.
abstract: We have developed a novel electrosynthetic system for anodic substitution reactions by using parallel laminar flow in a microflow reactor. This system enables nucleophilic reactions to overcome the restraint, such as the oxidation potential of nucleophiles and the stability of cationic intermediates, by the combined use of ionic liquids as reaction media and the parallel laminar flow in the microflow reactor. By using this novel electrosynthetic system, the anodic substitution reaction of carbamates, especially of cyclic carbamates, with allyltrimethylsilane were carried out to provide the corresponding products in moderate to good conversion yields in a single flow-through operation at ambient temperature (without the need for low-temperature conditions).
