Applications of microflow conditions for visible light photoredox catalysis have successfully been developed. Operationally simple microreactor and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer) tube reactor systems enable significant improvement of several photoredox reactions using different photocatalysts such as [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) and Eosin Y. Apart from rate acceleration, this approach facilitates previously challenging transformations of nonstabilized intermediates. Additionally, the productivity of the synergistic, catalytic enantioselective photoredox alpha-alkylation of aldehydes was demonstrated to be increased by 2 orders of magnitude.
