The performance of this microfluidic device was tested by carrying out a photoreactive synthesis of benzopinacol and acetone from benzophenone and 2-propanol. The yield reached 36% with an irradiation time of 469.2 s and was improved by more than 30% when compared to the values obtained by the batch method. Therefore, the microfluidic device was found to be effective for improving the yields of photoreactions. }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {8}, year = {2014}, pages = {755 - 758}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9998903}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/92}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 92, 2014}, }
