Abstract: A method of manufacturing a target reactor having a flow-channel system in which a plurality of reactants continuously flowing into said target reactor are mixed and interconvert to form a target volumetric flow-rate (f2) of a product continuously flowing out of said target reactor, wherein the smallest hydraulic diameter (dh2) of said target reactor is calculated based on the relationship d h ? ? 2 = d h ? ? 1 ? ( f 2 f 1 ) 3 - n 7 - n in a turbulent or transitional turbulent flow, wherein n is a non-integer number with 1>n?0, between the corresponding smallest hydraulic diameter (dh1) of a standard reactor having the same fluidic type of flow-channel system, f1 is a standard volumetric flow-rate of said standard reactor carrying out the same interconversion, and f2 is said target volumetric flow-rate.

Abstract: A method for producing pyrone derivatives of the general formula (I), wherein X1 is halomethyl, whereby an acetoacetic acid derivative of the general formula (II), wherein X1 has the aforementioned meaning and X2 is chlorine or bromine, is treated with a Lewis acid and is subsequently converted into the desired product by means of water.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel method for producing pyrone derivatives of general formula (I), wherein X1 means halogen-methyl, whereby an acetoacetic acid derivative of general formula (II), wherein X1 has the aforementioned meaning and X2 means chlorine or bromine, is treated with Lewis acid and is subsequently converted into the desired product by means of water.

Abstract: There is provided a 2-stage process for making 2H-1-benzopyrans wherein an alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde is reacted with an alkanol or an alkane-diol in the presence of a dehydrating compound which is an orthoformate and an aluminum oxide/silicon oxide catalyst to form an aliphatic acetal, which is then condensed in a second stage with a phenol in the presence of base in an organic solvent.
