Continuous-flow chemistry has recently attracted significant interest from chemists in both academia and industry working in different disciplines and from different backgrounds. Flow methods are now being used in reaction discovery/methodology, in scale-up and production, and for rapid screening and optimization. Photochemical processes are currently an important research field in the scientific community and the recent exploitation of flow methods for these methodologies has made clear the advantages of flow chemistry and its importance in modern chemistry and technology worldwide. This review highlights the most important features of continuous-flow technology applied to photochemical processes and provides a general perspective on this rapidly evolving research field.
