The discovery that supporting electrolytes can be effectively confined in typical organic solvents in a c-Hex-based multiphase electrolyte solution has led to the development of a novel heterogeneous continuous flow synthetic system. PTFE fiber functions as a separation filter that can efficiently isolate the c-Hex phase from multiphase electrolyte solutions. This system has demonstrated both electrochemical solvating and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. Hydrophobic substrates can be introduced into the reactor as c-Hex solutions, which are then electrochemically transformed into the target hydrophobic products that pass through the PTFE fiber as c-Hex solutions.

continuous electrochemical synthetic system has been developed using a cyclohexane-based multiphase electrolytesolution composed of lithiumperchlorate and nitromethane. The upper cyclohexane phase functioned as both substrate supply and product assembly phases, whereas the electrochemical reactions took place in the lower electrolytesolution phase, achieving spatial separation of the electrolyte solution
