Popis: Parallel microreactor screening enabled rapid identification of effective conditions for PTC-mediated Knoevenagel condensation between aldehyde (1) and thiazalone (2), affording a dramatic reduction in cycle time when compared to traditional conditions. Interesting facets of the reaction mechanism were revealed from kinetic profiling, specifically the operation of an extractive PTC mechanism with a pH optimum for the Knoevenagel condensation, a pKa optimum for the elimination reaction and the requirement for crystallization of aldol tautomer (4) to drive the reaction to completion.
