The esterification reaction of phthalic anhydride with methanol was performed at different temperatures in a continuous flow glass microreactor at pressures up to 110 bar and using supercritical CO2 as a co-solvent. The design is such that supercritical CO2 can be generated inside the microreactor. Substantial rate enhancements were obtained, viz. a 53-fold increase was obtained at 110 bar and 60 degrees C. Supercritical CO2 as a co-solvent gave rise to a 5400-fold increase ( both with respect to batch experiments at 1 bar at the same temperature).
