Abstract:
A process for forming an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl halide in a microreactor is described. The reactants comprise an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, a halogenating agent, and a catalyst. A first inlet stream, a second inlet stream, and an optional third inlet stream flow into a reaction chamber of a flow-through microreactor to form a reaction product comprising an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl halide.
