This book will formally launch "organic synthesis engineering" as a distinctive field in the armory of the reaction engineer. Its main theme revolves around two developments: catalysis and the role of process intensification in enhancing overall productivity. Each of these two subjects are becoming increasingly useful in organic synthesis engineering, especially in the production of medium and small volume chemicals and enhancing reaction rates by extending laboratory techniques, such as ultrasound, phase transfer catalysts, membrane reactor, and microwaves, to industrial scale production. This volume describes the applications of catalysis in organic synthesis and outlines different techniques of reaction rate and/or selectivity enhancement against a background of reaction engineering principles for both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems.

N-Phenyl-2-phenylacetamide was alkylated with benzyl chloride in the presence of powdered potassium hydroxide under microwave irradiation in a solvent-free system. The reactions were also performed in the presence of phase-transfer catalysts. The formation of N-, O- and C-products of alkylation was followed by gas chromatography. The N-product was found to be the main product under microwave irradiation. The O-product was obtained in higher yields when an excess of base and benzyl chloride was used.

Benzylation of N-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylacetamidewith benzyl chloride in the presence of powdered potassium hydroxide under various reaction conditions was performed in order to establish the possible reaction products. Different temperatures and ratios of reactants and solvents were used. The reactions were also carried out in the presence of different phase-transfer catalysts in toluene as a solvent. The formation of the reaction products was followed using gas chromatography. On the basis of the obtained results, the reactivity and the orientation in the alkylation reaction of the investigated amide is discussed.

The kinetics of the synthesis of tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate were investigated in a capillary microreactor. TBPEH was synthesized from 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a strong base,...
