A mild and efficient oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol to trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone with high-velocity air as an oxidant in a continuous-flow microreactor

This study developed a high-speed gas-driven microreactor for efficient TMP-to-TMQ catalytic oxidation (100% conversion, 89.9% yield), reducing the reaction time from 5 hours to 78.5 seconds.
