Synthesis in mesoreactors: Ru(porphyrin)CO-catalyzed aziridination of olefins under continuous flow conditions

The Ru(porphyrin)CO-catalyzed addition of aryl azides to styrenes to afford N-aryl aziridines was successfully performed for the first time in mesoreactors under continuous flow conditions. Meso-fluidic technology allowed for a rapid screening of different parameters and a quick identification of the optimized reaction conditions.
