Micro Reaction Technology in Organic Synthesis

"Although there have been several books devoted to Micro Reaction Technology over the past decade, there has not been a volume focussed on the needs of the organic chemist. This excellent new book fulfils that gap." -Trevor Laird, in Organic Process Research, March 2011 "In contrast to some of the other books available on this subject, this is clearly a book written by chemists for chemists. In a relatively short and easy-to-follow introductory chapter, the fundamentals of micro reaction technology, including fabrication of devices, pumping and mixing issues, and advantages/disadvantages, are explained with the synthetic chemist in mind. In each of tile sub chapters, the reader is pointed toward appropriate key references, review articles, or other books that provide further details on the subject." -American Chemical Society, 2011
