Flow chemistry involves the use of channels or tubing to conduct a reaction in a continuous stream rather than in a flask. Flow equipment provides chemists with unique control over reaction parameters enhancing reactivity or in some cases enabling new reactions. This relatively young technology has received a remarkable amount of attention in the past decade with many reports on what can be done in flow. Until recently, however, the question, “Should we do this in flow?” has merely been an afterthought. This review introduces readers to the basic principles and fundamentals of flow chemistry and critically discusses recent flow chemistry accounts.

流动化学旅行者指南∥

流化学涉及使用通道或管道以连续流而不是在烧瓶中进行反应。流动设备为化学家提供了对反应参数的独特控制，从而增强了反应性，或在某些情况下能够进行新的反应。在过去的十年中，这项相对较年轻的技术受到了相当多的关注，其中有许多关于可以完成的工作的报告。但是直到最近，问题仍然存在，“我们应该顺其自然吗？” 只是事后的想法。这篇评论向读者介绍了流化学的基本原理和基础，并严格地讨论了最新的流化学帐户。
