65. Rahman, M. T.; Fukuyama, T.; Kamata, N.; Sato, M.; Ryu, I. Chem. Commun. 2006, 2236. The residence time was calculated by dividing the total volume of the residence time unit (tube reactor) by the combined flow rates (substrate + ionic liquid + gas flow rates). These are calculated values (thus approximated), not absolute.
