he development of new methodologies to replace the classical approach is crucial for sustainable chemical production, since many classical methodologies usually need auxiliary substance, stoichiometric toxic reagent, high temperature (poor energy efficiency), etc. Photoinduced reactions present an excellent opportunity for the development of methodologies environmentally friendly: light is a clean reactive without residual waste. In this context, synthetic organic photochemistry (with and without a photocatalyst) is a powerful tool for creating molecules with high structural complexity, in a simple way, and under mild conditions. Phototransformation could be considered as an alternative synthetic organic tool but, the use of photochemistry with an industrial interest has been limited in regards to the scaling-up of sustainable and safer processes. Recently, the use of continuous-flow technology has been employed successfully to improve several photochemical synthetic applications, pro
