Chemical reactions are a fundamental issue in industrial applications, and also tertiary amines are valuable materials in the paint and drug industries. Recently, the use of microreactors for organic reactions has drawn much attention. The typical dimensions of microreactors are in the range of 10–500 mm. Because of this microstructure and high surface-area–to–volume ratio, it has particularly excellent heat and mass transfer characteristics. In such a reaction system, almost every site has the same temperature, so the phenomenon of local overheating or local overcooling can be avoided. Compared with conventional macroscale batch reactors, the microreactor has excellent features, such as...
