title: Study on photocatalytic organic reactions using photocatalytic microreactors.
abstract: Photocatalytic organic reactions were performed using automatic photocatalytic microreactor, where several open-end capillaries with photocatalytic materials coated inside were just soaked in a test tube including a reactant solution. Organic reactions of the alkyl radicals generated from carboxylic acids due to the photo-Kolbe reaction was studied, in analogy with the reactions using a photosensitizer. This methodology features the reusability of the reactor and an easy process for analysis due to easy separation of the reactant solution.
