Heterogenously catalyzed one-step alkylation and carboxylation of N-methylimidazole with dimethyl carbonate in continuous flow

  • Denis Breuch

    Denis Breuch obtained his diploma in chemistry in 2009 at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. He is currently a PhD candidate in the working group of Professor Holger Löwe. His research topics are the continuous flow synthesis of ionic liquids and the microfluidic implementation of palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

    and Holger Löwe

    Professor Holger Löwe obtained his PhD 1984 from the former Technical University Merseburg after some years of working in industry. Later, he moved to the faculty of electrochemistry at the Technical University in Ilmenau, Germany to work as a research assistant and lecturer. In 1991, he began his work at the IMM Institut fuer Mikrotechnik Mainz, GmbH. In 1999, as a director of R&D for this institute, he established the Chemistry/Micro-Reaction Technology Department and a bio-microfluidic group at IMM. Since 2005, he has been a professor for micro process technology at Mainz University. In 2007, he was appointed as visiting professor at the Dalian University of Technology. Since 2008, he has been a guest professor at the East China University, Shanghai, China, and he was appointed professor at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 2011. His current research activities comprise chemical synthesis and engineering and processing in combination with aspects of microfluidics. The application of magnetic ionic liquids for C-C coupling reactions and the combination of micro-nanoparticles for catalytic purposes are presently of major research interest to Prof. Löwe.
