The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic layers were washed with aqueous NaHCO3 solution, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the product as a

However, undefined plug flow was observed instead. Various aldehydes were tested using the system; with

• characterization of a simplified packed-bed microreactor using an immobilized TEMPO catalyst shown to oxidize primary and secondary alcohols via the biphasic Anelli-Montanari protocol. Oxidations occurred in high yields with great stability over time. We observed that plugs of aqueous oxidant and organic alcohol

Furthermore, it was determined that the use of a packed-bed microreactor facilitates efficient mixing of a biphasic system without destroying the solid support, a common problem with stirred systems [4]. Results and Discussion Previously we reported that

Preliminary reactions were performed using benzyl alcohol as the test substrate in order to establish the optimal flow conditions (Scheme 3). A solution of benzyl
