4.1.1 Kinetic study of photoisomerisation
The photoisomerization of cis -cyclooctene intotrans -cyclooctene has been investigated in detail in photo-microreactor. In order to determine the optimal reaction condition, the photoisomerisation was performed at varoius residence times (for more details see experimental section). The results are presented in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows that conversion is limited by equilibrium to approximately 28%.
