Drivers for Performing Aldol Reactions in Micro Reactors

1 Drivers for Performing Aldol Reactions in Micro Reactors 

The aldol reaction is one of the best known means of C-C-bond formation in organic chemistry. The reaction needs the formation of enolates, which themselves are one of the most extensive species permitting C-C-bond formation [15]. 

Reducing the processing time is a driver for micro channel processing of aldol reactions [15]. Using reactive reactants such silyl enol ethers, this can be accomplished.
