Micro reactors: a new tool for the synthetic chemist.

This review focuses on the use of micro reactors as tools in synthetic organic chemistry, aiming to highlight the many advantages associated with their use, in particular their ability to synthesise products in high yield, purity and, where relevant, selectivity.
