摘要

Aromatic nitration, a hazardously complex process, poses serious risks. A major challenge for the reaction is the trade-off effect between spatiotemporal conversion rate and selectivity, particularly the over-nitration side reactions that have plagued the field for nearly 200 years. We propose a countercurrent microflow mode between two microreactors, which boosts spatiotemporal conversion rate by over five times compared to the normal single-stage co-current microflow mode, and two orders of magnitude compared to traditional batch reactors. Meanwhile, we identify an inhibition mechanism of over-nitration. The generated H2O in the main reaction can in situ reduce the dissolution of nitroaromatics in the aqueous phase and effectively prevent over-nitration. Through synergistic control of both kinetics and thermodynamics in the microreaction process, high spatiotemporal conversion and selectivity are achieved simultaneously, overcoming the trade-off effect. Furthermore, we demonstrate the broad applicability of the microflow strategy across various aromatic nitration processes.
