Phase-vanishing reactions with PTFE (Teflon) as a phase screen.
Phase-vanishing reactions are triphasic reactions, which involve a reagent, a liquid perfluoroalkane, and a substrate. In a phase-vanishing reaction with PTFE tape as the phase screen instead of a liquid perfluoroalkane, there is no limitation related to the density of a phase and the denser phase can be in the top layer. The reactions were faster compared to traditional PV reactions, and it was possible to carry out sequential and tandem reactions and reactions under a reflux.
