Towards use of Floricil-Based Molecular Batch Molecular Reactors for Conventional Free Radical Chemistry

Floricil (60-100nm, activated)-based Batch Molecular Reactors have been assembled and used in a variety of conventional synthetically useful free radical transformations (Hydrogen Transfer Reactions, Radical Cascade Reactions and Addition to C=C and C=N bonds). Reactions proceeded smoothly in all cases in good to excellent yields at ambient temperature in aqueous and organic media. The advantages of newly assembled setup are ease of setup, recyclability of the solid media, flexibility and scope of the transformations to be performed and ease of scale-up of methodology.
