Abstract
A silicon-machined micromixer[1] has been coupled with electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) as a step toward the development of a µSYNTAS (miniaturized-SYNthesis and Total Analysis System).[2] The micromixer has been successfully used for the synthesis of small organic molecules via C-C and C-N bond-forming steps. The potential utility of this device for the production of compound libraries is demonstrated through a multicomponent reaction, thus illustrating a possible methodology for combinatorial synthesis.
