Photolysis of aryl azides to give nitrenes, and their subsequent rearrangement in the presence of water to give 3H-azepinones, is performed in continuous flow in a photoreactor constructed of fluorinated ethylene polymer (FEP) tubing. Fine tuning of the reaction conditions using the flow reactor allowed minimization of secondary photochemical reactions.
芳基叠氮化物的光解产生亚硝基,然后在水存在下发生重排反应生成3H-氮杂七酮,这一过程在由氟化乙烯聚合物(FEP)管构建的光反应器中连续进行。利用流动反应器对反应条件进行微调,可以最小化次级光化学反应。
