considered “exotic” by synthetic chemists [12]. Over the last decade, microflowchemistry has emerged as a new tool in preparative organic chemistry [13][14][15][16]. Microflow reactors (μ-reactors) offer a number of advantages for photochemical transformations. In particular, their narrow reaction channels
