An efficient etherification of Ginkgol biloba extracts with fewer side effects in a micro-flow system

In this study, etherification of ginkgolide B and dimethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride was investigated as a model reaction in a micro-flow system (MFS), providing the resulting ethers in high yield with fewer side effects. Meanwhile, this novel process in MFS worked well for other ginkgolides from Ginkgol biloba and halides, giving moderate yields.
