Application Note 14: Phase Transfer Catalysis Alkylation of 2-Oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester under biphasic conditions using phase transfer catalysis

This example illustrates how a continuous flow tubing reactor can be used to carry out biphasic reactions.
It demonstrates Phase Transfer Catalyzed (PTC) alkylation of β-Keto ester under segmented flow conditions using the Vapourtec flow system along with the flow Commander software enabling fast screening of reaction conditions.
