Abstract: Even though the use of microreactors for synthesising classical chemical warfare agents or other compounds scheduled in the CWC (Chemical Weapons Convention) has not been published to date, the new technology has attracted the attention of the organic chemistry group of SPIEZ LABORATORY.Studies of the group show that in a few areas and sectors of chemistry, microreactors can provide a good alternative to the batch procedure.In classic warfare chemistry however, the technology can bring no benefits, since many reactions pro-duce a solid and are thus entirely unsuitable for microreactors.
