| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Electron transfer is one of the most typical driving factors for organic reaction, and hence organic electrosynthesis serves as a straightforward and powerful method for organic electron transfer processes. On the other hand, microreactor technology for organic synthesis has been significantly investigated for the past two decades, however, the integrated use of microreactor technology with organic electrosynthesis has been quite limited so far.
Under these backgrounds, in this work, we investigated that the integrated use of microreactor technology with organic electrosynthesis which offers one of the most sophisticated processes in organic chemistry. In particular, we examines the use of electrochemical flow microreactors for applications related to the electrochemical syntheses of useful chemical compounds. Throughout this work, I found that this technology serves as one of the solution for the limitations of commercialization of electrosynthetic processes.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
有機電解合成は、反応剤に電子そのものを使用することで重金属や有害試薬を使わない環境調和型の反応プロセスとして、その一部は企業化されるなど一つの領域として発展してきた。その一方で、電位的な制約や活性種の寿命などの制約により実現できなかった反応なども数多く残されている。本研究課題は反応場が微小空間であるマイクロリアクターの特徴を活用し、従来のバッチ型の電解セルでは決して克服できなかった難題や実現の難しかったプロセスが開発された。従って、これらの反応システムの実現はマイクロリアクターの全く新しい利用法を提案するだけには留まらず、有機電気化学さらには有機化学全般に大きな波及効果を及ぼすものである。
