This paper presents the first example known to the authors of a heated organic reaction performed on a glass microreactor under electro-osmotic flow control. The experiments consisted of the preparation of a series of 2-aminothiazoles by means of a Hantzsch reaction of ring-substituted 2-bromoacetophenones and 1-substituted-2-thioureas carried out in microchannels, with the aim of investigating the generic utility of the reactor in carrying out analogue reactions. The reactions were performed on T-design microchips etched into a thin borosilicate glass plate and sealed over with a thick borosilicate top plate containing reservoirs. The mobility of the reagents and products was achieved using electro-osmotic flow (EOF), with the driving voltages being generated by a computer-controlled power supply. During the experiments the T-shaped chip was heated at 70 C using a Peltier heater, aligned with the channels and the heat generated by this device was applied to the lower plate. The degree of conversion was quantified by LC-MS using UV detection by comparison with standard calibration curves for starting materials and final products. In all cases, conversions were found to be similar or greater than those found for equivalent macro scale batch syntheses, thus illustrating the potential of this heated microreactor system to generate a series of compounds which contain biologically active molecules.
