Table 3.

Solvents, reaction conditions and results for the continuous-flow reaction of myrcene (1) with acrylic acid (2b) in a tubular flow reactor (reactor volume: 20 mL) and a plate flow reactor (reactor volume: 105 mL); all entries were reacted with a myrcene to dienophile ratio, R, of 0.9, and c_MYR,0 of 2.8 mol/L.
