Abstract
N-formylation of amines,a class of synthetically important reactions,is typically conducted using metal catalysts that are relatively expensive or not readily available and usually needs harsh conditions to in-crease the reaction efficiency.Here,an efficient continuous microflow strategy was developed for the gas-liquid visible-light photocatalytic N-formylation of piperidine,which achieved a reaction yield of 82.97%and a selectivity of>99%at 12 min using cheap organic dye photocatalyst under mild reaction con-ditions.The influence of essential parameters,including light intensity,temperature and equivalents of the gas,additive and photocatalyst,on the reaction yield was systematically studied.Furthermore,ki-netic investigations were conducted,exhibiting the dependence of reaction rate and equilibrium yield of N-formylpiperidine on light intensity,temperature and photocatalyst equivalent.The microflow photo-catalytic approach established in this work,which realized a markedly higher space-time yield than the conventional batch method(37.9 vs.0.212 mmol h-1 L-1),paves the way for the continuous,green and efficient synthesis of N-formamides.
